can you feel the world outside
is making sense at all
the avenue is long and straight
but I’m taking every turn I hate

I feel like racing but all I’m chasing
is you and I’m falling way behind
‘cause I’m afraid to lose
the only thing I know is good inside

but nothing
nothing is forever
except the songs that swim around my head

but I don’t want to be your superstar
I just wish my star would shine in my own back yard
I want to know
if I’m all alone
are you with me at all

oh my God it’s all so clear
but I can’t make up my tired mind
I’ve fallen in my wishing well
and all my dreams are still inside
the streetlights are flashing as I’m driving, (crashing) into the wind
I’m racing to go back to all those places I have never been

but something
something’s got to give
‘cause I don’t want to pay another dime for all those things I’ve missed

I don’t want to be your superstar
I just wish my star would shine in my own back yard
I want to know
if I’m all alone
are you with me at all

I don’t need the key to unlock the world
I just want a place that I can dance and chill
maybe a room with a music box
and books on dreams by Robert Frost
a window next to me to look outside
into the night and see the moon
laughing back at me
I’m laughing back at you

I don’t want to be your superstar
I just wish my star would shine in my own back yard
I want to know
if I’m all alone
are you with me at all
