Reaching for the Stars

from Hills to Die On by One Dog Clapping

lyrics

I’ve been reaching for the stars again
No-one told me that it never ends
I’ve been seeking the stars again
don’t let no-one tell you they’re not there

So you sit there waiting by your window as the world just moves along
If this is all of your creation, your creation got it wrong
if you think you’ve seen it all before then you didn’t do it right
listen to who’s calling you

I’ve been reaching for the stars again
No-one told me that it never ends
I’ve been seeking the stars again
don’t let no-one tell you they’re not there

Words not your own will tell you what to make of this
even though those words alone can never capture what it is
once your eyes have opened they can never close again
once the spell is broken, the dream is at an end

I’ve been reaching for the stars again
No-one told me that it never ends
I’ve been seeking the stars again
don’t let no-one tell you they’re not there

grasp at the horizon even though you cannot reach
the faster you approach it, the quicker it recedes
stop and look around you do not need to go so far
to reach for the stars

I’ve been reaching for the stars again
No-one told me that it never ends
I’ve been seeking the stars again
don’t let no-one tell you they’re not there
