I once dreamed that I’d grow up and move far away
the stars seemed to get closer every day
there was a time when we’d explore the furthest reaches of our skies
but now it’s all come to an end
you were a city on a hill, but now it’s getting dark
you’re just a shape against the sky
i hope we learn to live with ourselves
‘cause we’re not going anywhere else
and I can’t forgive ruining this world and telling me I can never leave
if we muddle through it, maybe we’ll beat the odds
