Countdowns

[00:00.37] I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud
[00:07.96] said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown
[00:15.36] but if I'm honest, I am seconds from breaking down
[00:23.31] as you orbit, gravity throws me to the ground
[00:30.84] I'll be starry eyed
[00:36.72] I'll be starry eyed,
[00:42.17] I'll be starry eyed for you
[00:52.01] i brush the dust off, gain composure for another round.
[00:59.55] when did my life become a series of countdowns?
[01:07.08] i curse the heavens for pulling you away from me.
[01:14.93] at the same time,
[01:16.80] I pray that you'll find everything you seek.
[01:22.35] and i'll be starry eyed,
[01:27.86] I'll be starry eyed,
[01:33.31] I'll be starry eyed for you
[01:44.38] I'll be starry eyed for you
[01:54.37] The whole world stares up in wonder at the night sky.
[02:01.99] oh what a marvel to see our dreams so realized.
[02:09.61] but all these bright lights run together after a while
[02:17.00] and our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night.
[02:24.82] our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night.
[02:32.49] but i'll be starry eyed
[02:38.06] I'll be starry eyed
[02:44.02] I'll be starry eyed for you
[02:54.43] I'll be starry eyed for you
[03:04.45] I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud

[03:19.81] but all these bright lights run together after a while
[03:28.24] and our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night.
