Lyrics Duncan Sheik

Duncan Sheik

Earthbound Starlight

What are you looking at, what do you see?

Is it the truth or a strange fantasy?

Whenever you're watching, changing the scene

The time is a place, this place is a song

Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone

He too may be watching but he's not letting on

Can't dry your eyes or say it's alright

Even though he might and she can't kiss your cheek

As the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats

Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight

Hey, are you listening?

What is the sound of things that you lose

That you never have found?

You're finding the way or turning around

Dancer with destiny, tempter of fate

The life that you lived is only a taste

Sometimes the sweetest is the time that you waste

I won't dry your eyes or say it's alright

'Cause sometimes that's the lie even if she kissed your cheek

Still the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats

Steal your heart, life is hard, never easy, believe me

There'll be no more questions, maybes or mights

Darkest descends, run out of light

When you go blind you get second sight

The deeper you dive the greater the heights

So don't dry your eyes or say it's alright

Life is hard, it's a fight even if she kissed your cheek

Still the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats

As the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats

Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
