Carried on the wings of hope
Beyond the stars where there is no more sadness
Beyond the weird border between world and self 
To the places they have not told you of
While sadness is a signpost reminder of being human
Things get bad and test who we are

Carried on the wings of hope
Beyond the stars where there is no more sadness
Beyond the weird border between world and self 
To the places they have not told you of

Beyond the stars where there is no more sadness
While sadness is a signpost reminder of being human 
To the places they have not told you of
Things get bad and test who we are 

While sadness is a signpost reminder of being human
Beyond the weird border between world and self
Things get bad and test who we are
Carried on the wings of hope

I introduced you to Manhattans
You said you introduced me to your soul
The world is not literal enough to take the cake
I see durable intimacies in your promise
Praying the sunshine won’t go away
Can you tell the difference between the sensation of life and life itself?

You believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Hazy possibilities without purpose
Things have their time, then fall apart
Beholding to someone is a debt that never gets paid
Still waiting for a friend who no longer is
No one stays in love by chance
