Is it asking too much to be given time To know their songs, to sing them? Is it asking too much of my vacant smile And my open lies, living them? As the stars are going out And the stage is full of the pain And their friends have all been gone All my lies, my good-up sleeping I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out Is it asking too much of my favorite friends To take this song for real? Is it asking too much of my partner's hands To take this song for real? As the stars are going out And the stage is full of the pain And their friends have all been gone All my lies, my good-up sleeping I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand I'll take a breath of sand I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out I'll take a breath of sand, leave all lies behind I'll watch the stars go out
