Shine On

From the couch down to the corner
From the corner to the bar
From the bar to your front door doesn't seem so very far
And I know it should be easy, to knock and say hello
But every time I try my feet don't wanna go
Might as well be Jupiter, or halfway out to Mars
You're just across the street but you seem further than the stars

Shine on, shine on, shine on
Beautiful Girl
You're not just outta my league, you're outta this world
Shine on, shine on, shine on
For all to see
You're my interstellar cosmic fantasy

Well I'm knockin' back some courage
I'm proppin' up the bar
Every pint reminds me the stars are very far
It's as good a time as any
I'm up out of my seat
Just a few more steps and I'll be halfway 'cross the street
Well I've made it to the crosswalk
There's just too many cars
The red light flashed to tell me I was further than the stars

Shine on, shine on, shine on
Beautiful Girl
You're not just outta my league, you're outta this world
Shine on, shine on, shine on
For all to see
You're my interstellar cosmic fantasy

Well this space is just a place, and I'm just wasting time
You're so sublime
It's a crime that I can't find
A single line to make you mine
I must be blind
Out of my mind
Still you shine, still you shine

Shine on, shine on, shine on
Beautiful Girl
You're not just outta my league, you're outta this world
Shine on, shine on, shine on
For all to see
You're my interstellar cosmic fantasy

Then I saw your front door open
Am I seeing what I see
You're dodging past the traffic, you're heading right to me
As I'm standing here in front of you, I don't know what to say
The stars are shining brighter than the brightest summer day
And I stammer something stupid, like I've had to much to drink
I hear you whisper, "Stars are sometimes closer than you think"

Shine on, shine on, shine on
Beautiful Girl
You're not just outta my league, you're outta this world
Shine on, shine on, shine on
For all to see
You're my interstellar cosmic fantasy
Oh you're my interstellar cosmic fantasy
