Only 13 minutes from here There's a comet testing the atmosphere A second sun for everyone Brave and bright and misunderstood I want this to happen, i'm scared that it could Now i can't walk when i should run A second sun for everyone I bought you a telescope, lets take it outside I'll show the universe, worlds that are moving and stars that have died You wanted a limousine, & to be the big star A face on a magazine, you knew me and you would go only so far CHORUS: Now you're handling harsh reality I'm standing still while you're flying away from me, Staring at the sun ------------------------------- I wanted a cigarette You said take it outside You needed to concentrate To get dressed for work and to get there on time I wanted some history and a place i could hide A scrapbook of you and me, with pictures and postcards and flowers you dried CHORUS Yeah, you cried every night we've been apart You've broken your promise & broken my heart Oh yeah, but I still smile You were my second sun for a while
