lyrics

I tried to get lost in a dream
Seemed that was where I should be
Life on earth had seemed to lack lust
Rust belt voices that don’t back trust
Dusty gems were hard to scope
Hope lay just outside my globe
Bound outside the longest of ropes

Not long ago, I used to aim high
But now I’m over the moon

Now I find I no longer need dream life
I’m content in the backyard
I can still still go and stargaze
Staying safe on the ground plane
No time left to play the game from not long ago

I used to aim high
But now I’m over the moon

I’m in the stars right here at home
I’m in the space, I’m in the zone

I’ve got a star right here on earth
