Lyrics
Everything I've ever wanted
Everything I'll ever need
Everything except direction
This desire is hard to feed
I find I'm caught in a situation
Hard to focus, hard for me
Got to find my motivation
Killing time is what they see
In a maze of imagination
I dream of things that can never be
Got to find my dedication
Give it form and set it free
I spend my time reaching for stars
in my head
Too much time watching the skies from my bed
All your life somewhere else, she said
You spend your time reaching for stars instead
No more time for hesitation
Time to move into the light
Move toward my destination
Take the dream and give it flight
I spend my time reaching for stars
in my head
Too much time watching the skies from my bed
All your life somewhere else, she said
You spend your time reaching for stars instead
