Miles across this state And hours away Looking for a reason to sing Like nobody's listening to me My dear friend Oh, how I've longed for us to live again This distance between us Has never been to great to keep Our voices from dancing together [Chorus] I fall in love with the world all over again Wrapped in the sound That's greater than the sum of all our parts And everything that we were taught I've put on mileage Like a Japanese automobile They tell me Give it up, give up the ghost I can't let go, it's all I've ever known Of life and love and everything that's Ever meant anything to me [Chorus] I fall in love with the world all over again Wrapped in the sound That's greater than the sum of all our parts And everything that we were taught Oh, my stars and garters What if I were to open my hands And keep my arms held wide I would make you believe That a boy can fly Oh, my stars Is a name I won't forget
