Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them?
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
And my laugh and lies that bring them?

But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life, my God, I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out

Is it asking too much of my favourite friends
To take these songs for real?
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
To take these songs for real?

But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life, my God, I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out

We'll take our hearts outside

We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out

We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out (is it asking too much?)
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out (is it asking too much?)

(Is it asking too much?)
And watch the stars go out
(Is it asking too much?)
(Is it asking too much?)
And watch the stars go out
(Is it asking too much?)
(Is it asking too much?)
And watch the stars go out
