Lyrics

Somebody Else's Star

It was such a tiny place, and I used to be so bored
Nothing to do but shoot the square in daddy's Ford
Maybe go to the Skateworld on a Saturday
As soon as I was old enough I just skated away

Chorus:
Down here in the city you can't see the stars
They hide behind the buildings and the lights from all the cars
we used to shine our flashlights on summer nights in the yard
and on some other planet it would be somebody's else's star

They say I started leaving soon as I learned to crawl
They say nothing could hold me once I learned how to fall
There was nothing for me here but the small time small town minds
And just to save myself I had to leave myself behind

(Chorus)
Down here in the city you can't see the stars
They hide behind the buildings and the lights from all the cars
we used to shine our flashlights on summer nights in the yard
and on some other planet it would be somebody's else's star

Lift:
And when I shine this little light of mine
My star will shine til the end of time

(Chorus)
Down here in the city you can't see the stars
They hide behind the buildings and the lights from all the cars
we used to shine our flashlights on summer nights in the yard
Someday on some other planet it would be somebody else's star
