STARS FADE
He witnesses a falling star and puts up his defenses
He says, “I want to say I love her but I’m too scared to be offensive.”
Tapping out a love song that reminds him of his first pursuing
She says, “That’s nice, there, what you’re playing,”
He said, “I don’t know what I’m doing.”
She wore the dress her mother always told her was too revealing
Like a little girl piercing skin for any type of feeling
She has a strong opinion on the things that don’t mean anything
She says “The boy in which I sense the hunger is the one that’s most becoming.”
She fakes a smile at wholesale
And fantasizes into soul containment
She finds beauty in the smallest of detail
Everyone trashes this lush arrangement
You push a lifestyle based on fear
To write a lyric of years more experience
He’s fallen for the latest trend and claims to be satisfied
Since the Creative Corporation of America has been downsized
He figures that the quest for meaning has been lost in wealth
Since the one who meant so much is happy just to lose himself
You argue with the T.V.
Singing “I don’t believe that anything is fair…”
A young girl’s wish for equality
And a boy’s wish for long hair
And you remember being only a fan
This idea was dead before it began
