Countdowns

I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud

Said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown

But if I'm honest, I am seconds from breaking down

As you orbit, gravity throws me to the ground

I'll be starry eyed

I'll be starry eyed

I'll be starry eyed for you

I brush the dust off, gain composure for another round

When did my life become a series of countdowns?

I curse the heavens for pulling you away from me

At the same time

I pray that you'll find everything you seek

And I'll be starry eyed

I'll be starry eyed

I'll be starry eyed for you

I'll be starry eyed for you

The whole world stares up in wonder at the night sky

Oh what a marvel to see our dreams so realized

But all these bright lights run together after a while

And our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night

Our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night

But I'll be starry eyed

I'll be starry eyed

I'll be starry eyed for you

I'll be starry eyed for you

I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud

Said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown

But all these bright lights run together after a while

And our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night
