lyrics
When he opens up his eyes
he will finally discover
none of your stars
you keep
They just gravitate around
and pretend to be your lovers
None of them gets too deep
I suppose that’s why you came with me tonight
as if there is no other
But by morning you’ll be saying it’s alright
to go looking for another
As she takes a look at you
when you open up the window
to let her sun come out
she admires what you do
for accepting all her sins, though
sometimes you had your doubts
Nonetheless she will be coming here tonight
and pretend there are no implications
But it’s when she wraps her hands around me tight
I foresee the complications
We are stars,
that gravitate around your love,
unable to release:
It’s not by way of hope
that we’ll find peace
We gravitate around
and you,
you wish we could release
It’s only with your love
that you’ll find out that once again
you’re the first to start to wonder
where will this evening lead
You’re still galaxies away
from this man you brought from yonder
Is he the one you need?
I imagine he’ll be staying here tonight
but he can’t expect to see you again
for although we keep on saying it’s alright
we all know that guilt does not cure pain
We are stars,
we gravitate around your love,
unable to release
It’s not by way of hope
that we’ll find peace
We gravitate around
and you,
you wish we could release
It’s only with your love
You’ll find that…
We are stars,
that gravitate around your love,
unable to release
It’s not by way of hope
that we’ll find peace
We gravitate around
and you,
you wish we could release
It’s only with your love…
he will finally discover
none of your stars
you keep
They just gravitate around
and pretend to be your lovers
None of them gets too deep
I suppose that’s why you came with me tonight
as if there is no other
But by morning you’ll be saying it’s alright
to go looking for another
As she takes a look at you
when you open up the window
to let her sun come out
she admires what you do
for accepting all her sins, though
sometimes you had your doubts
Nonetheless she will be coming here tonight
and pretend there are no implications
But it’s when she wraps her hands around me tight
I foresee the complications
We are stars,
that gravitate around your love,
unable to release:
It’s not by way of hope
that we’ll find peace
We gravitate around
and you,
you wish we could release
It’s only with your love
that you’ll find out that once again
you’re the first to start to wonder
where will this evening lead
You’re still galaxies away
from this man you brought from yonder

I imagine he’ll be staying here tonight
but he can’t expect to see you again
for although we keep on saying it’s alright

We gravitate around

It’s only with your love
You’ll find that…
We are stars,
that gravitate around your love,
unable to release
It’s not by way of hope
that we’ll find peace
We gravitate around
and you,
you wish we could release
It’s only with your love…
