Adrian Borland - Dangerous Stars lyrics

rate me

Gazing up from the pavement

In amazement, wonder and fear

At the stars that shine like perfection

Though you can't see the edges from here

I remember the first time I touched them

I recoiled from the shock and I fell

Back to the earth where I lay now

With a longing I never dispel

And all I wanted was to want something too much

And all I needed was the feeling of needing to touch

When I stuck my hand in the heavens

All it came back with were cuts

From the dangerous stars, those dangerous stars

It's like the second between expectation

And the feeling the moment has gone

Injected then left to the craving

A voice with no access to song

I remember pieces of clothing

Ripped as they clung to the rocks

Like the ones who must weep in the shadows

For the highs and the lows and the loss
