Unhook the Stars lyrics

Just when everything's in order and good,

Things fall apart.

Just when life should be resolving

I'm back at the beginning,

And it comes back to the heart...

I'm not really sad;

I'm not running, I'm looking...

Did I tell you I've saved

All your letters and cards?

There's just nothing left for me to do here

But unhook the stars...

There's just nothing left for me to do here

But unhook the stars...

Do you remember when I told you all that I could,

And it seemed like too much?

Well I was living your life,

Hoping you'd never fall

If I held on tight enough.

And letting go now

Is like a passport to anywhere...

With time on my hands

I can make a new start!

I just didn't want to stay here

And unhook the stars...

I just didn't want to stay here

And unhook the stars...

Don't worry for me:

It's just I'm inspired!

Waiting in the wings

Made me drunk with possibility...

It rivals my memories!

I didn't want to stay here

And unhook the stars...

I just didn't want to stay here

And unhook the stars...

When everything's in order and good,

Things fall apart.

Just when life should be resolving

I'm back at the beginning,

And it comes back to the heart...

I'm not really sad;

I'm not running, I'm looking ...

Did I tell you I've saved

All your letters and cards?

There's just nothing left for me to do here

But unhook the stars...

There's just nothing left for me to do here

But unhook the stars...

Mmm... Don't wanna stay here

And unhook the stars...

Didn't wanna stay here

And unhook the stars...

I didn't want to stay here

And unhook the stars...
