You're like a man alone in outer space
Cradling the earth in the palm of his hand
You orbit 'round, tempted by her face
A beauty so alive, she leaves you spellbound

Even the stars seem to burn for her

What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling
Without a place to land your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms

You say the things you know will spark her laughter
Marvel at the glow of the light that it brings
But getting close is a darker matter
Forces are at work greater than you know

Even the stars seem to burn for her

Round and round and round
You go in circles
