I was long gone before I went away
I didn't have what it takes, but there was something in your eyes
Struck out when you walked in
Blacked out in a tailspin, yeah
I wasn't thinking right that night
This won't be the first time it's crashing on me, yeah
Know someday you're gonna find
A place to rest your weary mind, but when? But when?
Now I'm standing in the light
Can't you see the stars shinin' bright for you?
Standing in the light
And that's the best I'll ever do
Well, I'm not scared anymore
Like the time before
All I ever wanted were those simple things in life
Nothin' more, nothin' more
[?] on a 442
Swallowin' pills just to see what they do, yeah
Stumblin' in, stumblin' out
It was all over when you started to shout, hey! Are you hearin' me now?
Now I'm standing in the light
Can't you see the stars shinin' bright for you?
Standing in the light
And that's the best I'll ever do
Yeah, it's all we can scream about for a minute
Life's what I dream about with you in it
Don't walk away, what's left to say
Now I'm standing in the light
Can't you see the stars shinin' bright for you?
I'm going to make this right
If it's the last thing I ever do
