Written by Nick Randall

lyrics

A book you might have read
So I've been, so I've been
The words I should have said
So you knew, so you knew what I meant

Now your hanging up a paper moon
Got cut up on the sun, and it's setting me soon
And Im hanging up stars now I just can't seem to find the room
You composed a broken remedy
With a counterfeit conscience, you wore on your sleeve
Now I have to keep quiet, or they wont let me leave

If I told you a nightmare was coming
would you still close your eyes and get carried away?
Cause the stars always add up to nothing
And the sun only wants you to play
When I knew that a nightmare was coming
Yeah I still closed my eyes and got carried away
And the stars always add up to nothing
but somehow they still get in the way

So they tied you to a blue balloon,
Told you not to press buttons you found in a room
But you're winning a prize
and you think you'll be getting it soon
Walking down a hallway like a street
Meeting strangers who's answers are never complete
and I guess that its christmas
because I cant sleep

If I told you a nightmare was coming
would you still close your eyes and get carried away?
Cause the stars always add up to nothing
And the sun only wants you to play
When I knew that a nightmare was coming
Yeah I still closed my eyes and got carried away
And the stars always add up to nothing
but somehow they still get in the way

Yeah I told you again you got carried away
Yeah I told you again you got carried away

Yea I told you again you got carried away, told you again you got carried away
(Yeah the stars always add up to nothing, yeah the stars always add up to nothing)
