Is it asking too much
to be given time
to know these songs and
to sing them
Is it asking too much
of my vacant smile
and my laugh and lies
that bring them

But as the stars are going out
and this stage is full of nothing
and the friends have all but gone
for my life my god Im singing

Well take our hearts outside
leave our lives behind
Ill watch the stars go out...

Is it asking too much
of my favourite friends
to take these songs for real
Is it asking too much
of my partners hands
to take these songs for real
