let 'em go

you gotta alot of pain in your shoes
let 'em go...let 'em go...let 'em go
every kind of thing you can't use
let 'em go...let 'em go
you're never gonna see that kind of light
you know the one your dreams are made of
if you don't kiss them good night
and let 'em go

you're tellin' me it hurts in your head
let 'em go...let 'em go...let 'em go
don't let them butter up your bread
let 'em go...let 'em go
you're waitin' for a dream in your hand
you know the simple life that you've known
if they don't fit with your plan
just let 'em go

(bridge)
every kind of answer
to the questions that you pose
the universe has
the universe knows
everywhere you're lookin'
like a fantasy that grows
hold on to the feeling
it tells you where you should go

you gotta lotta fools who hang on
let 'em go...let 'em go...let 'em go
they smile and tell you you're wrong
let 'em go...let 'em go
you gotta alot of living to do
don't let someone else do it for you
you already know that it's true
just let 'em go

a million stars

warm summer night
just me and the sky
a million stars
all in my eye at once
and i'm missin' you

i looked at all
the places you go
searching for you
even the sky don't know
yeah, i'm missin' you

(bridge)
sky full of stars
one of them must be you
if you see my heart
tell me what i should do

(chorus)
'cause right now, in the middle of the night
got a crisis of the heart
i gotta know, i need some kind of plan
to get me back to you
somehow, something just went wrong
and i let you slip away
and right now, amidst a million stars
i hope you'll be okay

lost summer dreams
caught up in a lie
a wounded heart
how can i make you see?
i need you here

i've been through hell
i made a mistake
now i'm asking you
can't you feel i'm real by now?
and i'm missin' you

(back to bridge...then chorus)
