Starry Nowhere

I could show you out of here

Show you thorns when you reach for the rose

I could show you a door into daylight

Oh, you know, I have to keep it closed

You see my hands, I see your stare

You were happy in the starry nowhere

Oh, so happy

I could give you a good time too soon

The holy father told me to wait

I could blind you with a night on the moon

I could change you, it's never too late

You see my hands, I see your stare

You were happy in the starry nowhere

Oh, so happy

I see myself walking the same sinking streets

I walk in circles and a straight, straighter line beats

Beats in my heart

I could make it so easy for you

Show you something better than life

I could just put my hand around your heart

Make it easy in paradise

You see my hands, I see your stare

You were happy in the starry nowhere

Oh, so happy

I see myself walking with the heavenly choir

I could be so happy in a city on fire

Fire is a sign

I could leave you dreaming your life away

Show you how different it could be

Let me take you right out of your dreams

Someone's leaving and I know it's not me

We pull the blinds across the sky

Here we are, buried alive

I see the woman and I show her my dreams

I buy the figures and I play her my themes

The variations inside my heart
