This growing old is getting old 
I often find myself here thinking 
About the birds, the boats, and past loves 
That flew away or started sinking 
And it's crazy here without you 
I used to think this all was ours 
We stay up late debate 
On how we find our way 
You say, "It's all up in the stars" 

Well, Some nights I rule the world 
With bar lights and pretty girls 
But most nights I stay straight 
And think about my mom, Oh God 
I miss her so much 

And there are people on the street 
They're coming up to me 
And they're telling me 
That they like what I do now 
And so I tried my best when I took the fall 
And get back right up and get in your arms 
If you're out here why do I miss you so much? 

I feel like I had it all 
Back before I lost it all 
Now I just wait for you to talk to me 
But you won't even look at me, baby 

And I've been saying that you 
You're always holding onto stars 
I think they're better from afar 
Cause no one is going to save us 

Oh, and me 
Well I am fading in the dark 
So don't you ever kiss me 
Don't you wish on me 
Why can't you see 
That no one's going to save us? 
Come on, girl 

Come on girl 
So should I or did I 
I can't believe you'd do those things 
I just need a helping hand 
I close my eyes and think about tomorrow 
It never came true 
It came true 
It never came true 

And you, you're always holding onto stars 
You're always holding onto stars 
Cause no one is going to save us 

Oh and you, you're always holding onto stars 
I think they're better from afar 
Because no one is going to save us 
Oh and me, Well I am fading in the dark 
So don't you ever kiss me 
Don't you wish on me 
Why can't you see that 
No one is going to save us. 
No one is going to save me. 

No, no, no. 
You're always holding onto stars 
You're always holding onto stars 
You're always holding onto stars 
You're always holding onto stars 
You're always holding onto stars 
You're always holding onto stars 
You're always holding onto stars
