lyrics

I've stolen the distance from a thousand stars
Middle of nowhere like a smoking car
I'm checking my map, I think I've gone too far
Holding my light up wondering where you are
I saw a dying bird just laying on the ground
Saw his mind made up too late to make a sound
Now his suffering's gone, it doesn't hang around

My love is a sadness I cannot contain
I would give everything up for anything
Tonight I will dream over a bright blue star
Holding the light up wondering where you are
I'm trying hard to be a better man
But I often need something to take my hand
Just something small like a grain of sand

I've borrowed the presage from a burning sun
I'd carry it onward, but it weighs a ton
The side of the highway in my smoking car
Holding my light up wondering where you are
It isn't hard to see it all just disappear
See it flickering before it's never there
Call a friend to see if you can shed a tear

My heart is a boulder, it can break down walls
Demolish your castle when you get the call
I'm checking my map, I know I've gone too far
Turning my light off, wondering where you are
