The Stars Shine In The Sky Tonight

I can't live in a world that you have left behind

Seen a lot, been through too much

But this is where i draw the line

It's not where you're coming from

It's where you're going to

And i just wanna go with you

December is a lonely month

In a year of lonely days

It's hard to tell which way is up

Or down or out

Or through the haze

People cheat and people lie

While you just watch it all go by

Counting days until you die

The stars shine in the sky tonight

Like a path beyond the grave

When you wish upon that star

There's two of us you need to save

It's not where you're coming from

It's where you're going to

And i just wanna go with you
