Stars are adolescent hearts, burning in the dark.
Trying to illuminate the black within.
Stars are men who’ve lost their names--lost in heaven’s games.
Almost desp’rate to forget the bitter wind
CHORUS:
Shining in the sky, do they see where our futures lie?
Will they lead us in the end?
Burning in the sky, the stars will watch us grow and die.
What do they comprehend?
Stars are adolescent fears, burning sweat and tears.
Trying to choke themselves in pitch-black skies.
Stars are men who don’t give up, and in troubles never stop.
Hoping something takes them up when they die.
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
I look up and watch them twinkling.
Do they have an inkling?
Do they hold the secrets that we will never know?
Stars are adolescent hearts, burning in the dark.
Trying to illuminate the black within.
(CHORUS)
CODA:
What do they comprehend...
What do they comprehend....
What do they comprehend....
