Orion

It's so elusive, bird in the night
I hear it calling but I cannot find
My way to it, my way to it
Tossing and turning, the moon and the tides
Tips of my fingers are drawn to the light
I'm made for it, I'm made for this

Daylight calls, midnight's gone
So far, so far, so far
I can't even touch the stars
Gave my all, break my fall
So hard, so close, still so far
I can't even touch the stars

Caught in the mystery, daydreams at night
Cracking the code to the meaning of life
So near to it, so near to it
Remember the city, remember the time
You told me someday that you would be mine
Let's get to it, let's get to it

Daylight calls, midnight's gone
So far, so far, so far
I can't even touch the stars
Gave my all, break my fall
So hard, so close, still so far
I can't even touch the stars

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't even touch the stars
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't even touch the stars

The higher you rise the greater the fall
Too many people who had it the talent and lost it all
He wanted a wraith to look at the universe in the car
She fell for the chase, more into scamming and cracking cards
He wicked with jump shots, they both just wanted to ball
He knew her since they was young, had a problem that's who she'd call
Keeping it real was easy and even though she did fraud
They both from a broken home where their father's wasn't involved
His mother left him in 87 cuz he gave her scars
Her mama wasn't too loving, she lost her pops to the odds
Second guessing her existence, question if it's a God
And if it is why it's hard to do his job
I put you up in my arms so you can cry in em
Told you it's gon' be straight, I guess I lied in em
It's hard to rest, the more I stretch you still far
What's the chances that you reach up and catch you a shooting star?

Daylight calls, midnight's gone
So far, so far, so far
I can't even touch the stars
Gave my all, break my fall
So hard, so close, still so far
I can't even touch the stars

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I can't even touch the stars
Nights like this are way too hard
I can't even touch the stars
