[Hook]

We left our hearts somewhere in the stars

We left our eyes floating the night

We left our hearts somewhere in the stars

We left our eyes floating the night

We left our hearts, hearts

We left our eyes, eyes

[Verse 1]

Can you imagine what it might have felt like?

The moment when you first opened up those eyes

Like the moment when a Wright brother first took flight

As if to show the non-believers what a dream looks like

I guess that's right brother - all too right

'Cause there's too few left who can carry the light

'Cause we all shed our wings at the turn of the night

Too afraid that if we jump we might touch the sky

We stopped believing in the bumps in the night

We started being afraid that the love would die

We went from cavemen to cave den, from ageless to aimless

We built it up but never put the base in

We made it to the moon and stopped creating spaceships

Reached for the stars but we never quite made it

We each grew up and put our wisdom on the paper

We left our hearts somewhere in those pages when we left

[Hook]

We left our hearts somewhere in the stars

We left our eyes floating in the night

We left our hearts hearts somewhere in the stars

We left our eyes floating in the night

[Verse 2]

We stopped gazing at the stars, started staring at our feet

'Stead of making it to Mars, started making it through the week

Well I'm afraid of what we lost, trying to play it - finders keep

Put a roof over our heads, but shut out the things we've seen

We traded in our dreams for more shit that we don't need

Turned on all the lights 'till there was nothing left to see

So when I drift outside and I stare into the night

There's no diamonds in the sky that are staring back at me

And it don't take a genius to realise that freedom

Is not another thing we want but something that we need

If you can't tell the difference 'tween being sold a system

And seeing solar systems then you cannot be free

And that's my biggest fear;

That we'll just stay right here and never end what we started

If it would see us clear

I'd walk out in my garden, stretch out both my arms

And shed a final fron-tear

When we left

[Hook]

We left our hearts somewhere in the stars

We left our eyes floating in the night

We left our hearts somewhere in the stars

We left our eyes floating in the night

[Outro]

I watched the shadow take its arc

I saw the pieces fall apart

As we retreated from the stars

Our soul was fading fast

And I don't know what's in man's heart

That we went chasing in the dark

But I could see that fading spark

The day we left the stars

[Hook]

We left our hearts somewhere in the stars (we left our hearts)

We left our eyes floating in the night (somewhere in the night)

We left our hearts somewhere in the stars (we left our hearts)

We left our eyes floating in the night (somewhere in the night)

(And you can see them, in the stars)
