Lyrics

[Hook] We left our hearts somewhere in the stars We left our eyes floating the night We left our hearts somewhere in the stars We left our eyes floating the night We left our hearts, hearts We left our eyes, eyes [Verse 1] Can you imagine what it might have felt like? The moment when you first opened up those eyes Like the moment when a Wright brother first took flight As if to show the non-believers what a dream looks like I guess that's right brother - all too right 'Cause there's too few left who can carry the light 'Cause we all shed our wings at the turn of the night Too afraid that if we jump we might touch the sky We stopped believing in the bumps in the night We started being afraid that the love would die We went from cavemen to cave den, from ageless to aimless We built it up but never put the base in We made it to the moon and stopped creating spaceships Reached for the stars but we never quite made it We each grew up and put our wisdom on the paper We left our hearts somewhere in those pages when we left [Hook] We left our hearts somewhere in the stars We left our eyes floating in the night We left our hearts hearts somewhere in the stars We left our eyes floating in the night [Verse 2] We stopped gazing at the stars, started staring at our feet 'Stead of making it to Mars, started making it through the week Well I'm afraid of what we lost, trying to play it - finders keep Put a roof over our heads, but shut out the things we've seen We traded in our dreams for more shit that we don't need Turned on all the lights 'till there was nothing left to see So when I drift outside and I stare into the night There's no diamonds in the sky that are staring back at me And it don't take a genius to realise that freedom Is not another thing we want but something that we need If you can't tell the difference 'tween being sold a system And seeing solar systems then you cannot be free And that's my biggest fear; That we'll just stay right here and never end what we started If it would see us clear I'd walk out in my garden, stretch out both my arms And shed a final fron-tear When we left [Hook] We left our hearts somewhere in the stars We left our eyes floating in the night We left our hearts somewhere in the stars We left our eyes floating in the night [Outro] I watched the shadow take its arc I saw the pieces fall apart As we retreated from the stars Our soul was fading fast And I don't know what's in man's heart That we went chasing in the dark But I could see that fading spark The day we left the stars [Hook] We left our hearts somewhere in the stars (we left our hearts) We left our eyes floating in the night (somewhere in the night) We left our hearts somewhere in the stars (we left our hearts) We left our eyes floating in the night (somewhere in the night) (And you can see them, in the stars)
