  • Old doubt and a girl by your side
    She's feeding your pride
    As you go for a ride
    Down the Star Mile

    Worlds rise as she lets you come in
    A duo begins
    To the Hollywood din
    Of the lonely

    And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into a ring
    You had and lost the one thing
    You kept in a safe place
    Remember the face
    The girl who had made you her own
    And how you left her alone

    All's well at the base of the hill
    You might need to fill
    A prescription to kill
    Off the sirens

    Look down from your tower on high
    And take in the night
    Look her right in the eye
    She'll listen

    And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into a ring
    You had and lost the one thing
    You kept in a safe place
    Remember the face
    The girl who had made you her own
    And how you left her alone

    Life comes to those that'll choose
    The regular news
    Over playing the blues
    With the light on

    And if you burn the road
    That'll lead you back to her in time
    I'll watch you turn to stone
    Can't find the sublime

    She's moving on without you
    The tide breaks
    You watch the stars fake
    They gather you back to their homes
    I guess it's better than being alone Writer/s: JOSHUA RYAN RADIN
