You're washing away everything The world means nothing to a dreamer Their puppets on their strings on the TV screen It means nothing to me Cardboard believers in nothing If I could run away, if I could be a star Would it take too much to save me? To love you for who you are The windows are open now, clean free for dreaming Arms open to the world and all for needing nothing If I could run away, if I could be a star Would it take too much to save me? To love you for who you are If I could run away, if I could be a star Would it take too much to save me? To love you for who you are I watch my life pass by (Eyes) I can't keep 'em closed I've never been afraid to lose You're damaged goods at best And you're breaking down on me You're just like all the rest Of us you need a meaning That's nothing If I could run away, if I could be a star Would it take too much to save me? To love you for who you are If I could run away, if I could be a star Would it take too much to save me? Save me I never walk that line I never saw the stars fall from the sky In this night In this painted light I watch my dreams go by
