adult contemporary - 1 take

ordinary superstar
flung too far to make ends meet
traveled space and time
chasing time
a butterfly net in the galaxy

could capture the inner child
vivid in my core memories,
born a rare breed,
spurned in his prime for trying to find the courage I still need, oh

troubled on the brink of breaking out
when your still, small voice reminds me how
Tantamount to death's true talent
giving up on himself

but till it ain't taboo to dream,
the truer the saddest songs'll ring,
adult contemporary.

you and I some of the last to see those two twin lines between Y and Z
the crystal cascades of
Windows on the World
gone hand-to-mouth

The fight to resist total control
barreling down a broken road,
winding up with nowhere to go
since the love we'd come to rely on let us down,

On the brink of aging out
when your still, small voice,
reminds me how,
How when I feel like I don't belong
I roam...
Roam astray as the eye can see

But till it ain't taboo to dream,
The truer the saddest songs'll ring
The more invisible the pain,
permission you need to fade away
still in the mirror, can't you see a version of You you long to be,
adult contemporary?
The call of a wee, carefree
adult contemporary.
