Tracy McNeil & The GoodLife - Stars
Written by Tracy McNeil

I watch you through a telescope
To get the details right
But you’re moving too fast, you blur then you’re out of sight
So I check in with the cosmos
To see what they have to say
If you’re holding onto something that isn’t yours
It’ll only slip away

They say it’s written in the stars
But we’re not tearing up a hole in the sky like it’s nobody’s business
They say it’s written in the stars
We’ve been striking our match in the dark but we can’t light the way

I’m sending out a signal
I’m hoping you can see
All this running down a dream till it hurts, only hurts you and me
So I check in with the cosmos
But they can’t take the call
They leave us hanging in the middle of nowhere, nowhere at all
They leave us hanging in the middle of nowhere, nowhere at all

They say it’s written in the stars
But we’re not tearing up a hole in the sky like it’s nobody’s business
They say it’s written in the stars
We’ve been striking our match in the dark but we can’t light the way

They say it’s written in the stars
But we’re not tearing up a hole in the sky like it’s nobody’s business
Striking a match in the dark but we can’t light the way
We’ve been pinning our eyes on the prize but we make the grade
We’ve been holding our breath till we feel alive and won’t stray
We’ve been burning a fire in the night but we’re cold anyway
Burning a fire in the night but we’re cold anyway
Yeah we’re cold anyway
Yeah we’re cold anyway
