lyrics

I light up like a burned out star
it always feels like the summer wherever you are
didn't think you would notice, but it's what I hoped for
never thought that a loaner could get me this far
you would give it a thought, if it's something you want
you could take it apart if you could see in the dark

hey, am I just another fade-out?
I can never find my way out
down on my luck
hey, am I wishing for a dead dream?
torn apart here with the dead leaves?
but I couldn't tell

I light up, like a burned out star
you always feel like a stranger wherever you are
didn't think I would see it, but it's what I searched for
never thought that a loaner could get me this far

hey, I am safe inside my hideout
an empty room with every light out
I'm feeling alone (bring my dead dreams in the light)
but I light up like a burned out star (feeling alone here)
it always feels like the summer wherever you are (torn apart here with the dead leaves)
didn't think you would notice, but it's what I hoped for (what I hoped for)
never thought that a loaner could get me this far (could get me this far)
