Stardust

I hear some beauty, I see some light.
I feel it’s my duty on St. Valentine’s
To ask you to take a chance,
With stardust in your eyes
I see it on their faces, again, again.
A thousand contestants who never win,
Who fall at the first chance,
With stardust in your eyes
It’s best when you’re grateful, you might survive
The knife-edge of laughter that splits your side.
I only love what I have lost,
With stardust in your eyes
I’m not falling for you,
I’m not falling for your crown
I’m not falling for you,
I’m just falling down.
If I found a teacher, I might confide,
Blindfold your sister on a firing line
And bang it on your big drum,
With stardust in your eyes
I searched for the exit to start anew,
Driving past the great house, only thinking of you
Your ankles in the soft sand,
With stardust in your eyes
I’m not falling for you,
I’m not falling for your crown
I’m not falling for you,
I’m just falling down
I’m not falling for you,
I’m not falling for your crown
I’m not falling for you,
I’m just falling down
