The day since i met her
i can't believe it's true
she came here from memphis
across the ocean sailing
and i saw her a i pleaded
why do you come so far and she said
trying to get to you
how i tried to get you
trying to get you
i'm sending a letter
i'll send it right to you
i'll send it to memphis
i know that someday
everything i needed and i wanted
used to be that my head was haunted
and all these sirens they make me mad
and all this violence it brings me down
i feel strong i feel lucky
trying to get to you
said i'm going to get to you
trying to get to you.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
