'Making A Wish On An Exploding Star'

Nobody likes damaged goods
So grab the duct tape, baby
And let's hit the lights and try and forget
Not every wound is meant to heal, so we just learn to deal
With taking things as they come
I try to take every step without a stumble
But sometimes gravity gets the best of me
I'll continue moving forward, like sun beams toward the Earth
I'll establish the spark and watch your eyes ignite
So I can bathe in the light and find my way back home
A trail of flames makes its way across this room tonight
And I feel the electricity surge from your fingertips
You make me feel like a human lighting rod
Plug me in and we can fight the morning together
Don't let the sun in on our plans
A solar explosing nipping at our heels
We take in, live with, lose, then forget memories that once made us smile
But today we can choose to be reborn
Life means more than just surviving
I'm trying to leave my mark on you...on everything I see
Hope floats on a sea of dreams
And everything is gold until you turn your back on it
We'll walk against the wind and you can teach me to dance
Fall away into the deep and when we awake dawn will kiss our eyes
Nobody has to know about our imperfections as we discard them slowly
Until Only you can see remnants of my failures.
