Stars (feat. Ashleigh Murray)

Stars, they come and go
They come fast or slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
And all you see is glory
Hey but it gets lonely there when there's no one here to share
You can shake it away, if you'll hear a story

People lust for fame like athletes in a game
We break our collarbones and come up swinging
Some of us are downed, some of us are crowned
Some are lost and never found, but most have seen it all
They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
They always have a story
Some make it when they're young
Before the world has done it's dirty job
And later on someone will say
"You've had your day, now you must make way"
But they'll never know the pain
Some making when they're old
Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bear
Or perhaps there's nothing there
That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
And try to make amends without the funding

Stars, they come and go, they come fast they come slow
They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
All you see is glory
But those have seen it all
Live out their lives in sad cafes and music halls
We always have a story
