Countdowns

I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud Said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown But if I'm honest, I am seconds from breaking down As you orbit, gravity throws me to the ground I'll be starry eyed I'll be starry eyed I'll be starry eyed for you I brush the dust off, gain composure for another round When did my life become a series of countdowns? I curse the heavens for pulling you away from me At the same time I pray that you'll find everything you seek And i'll be starry eyed I'll be starry eyed I'll be starry eyed for you I'll be starry eyed for you The whole world stares up in wonder at the night sky Oh what a marvel to see our dreams so realized But all these bright lights run together after a while And our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night Our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night But i'll be starry eyed I'll be starry eyed I'll be starry eyed for you I'll be starry eyed for you I am happy, I am thankful and I am proud Said with a smile for the cameras at the countdown But all these bright lights run together after a while And our blaze of glory turns ordinary over night
