We left

[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)
