The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The lights are out in the city tonight
So close your eyes, gaze up the heavens
And see if you can point me out
If I could have one wish tonight
I'd wish upon a satellite
To bring me back to you, bring me back to you
We spend our whole life searching for
All the things we think we want
And never really knowing what we have
So many paths that we can take
To bring us to our destiny
Gaze up the heavens
And see if you can point me out
If I could have one wish tonight
I'd wish upon a satellite
To bring me back to you, bring me back to you
We spend our whole life searching for
All the things we think we want
And never really knowing what we have
Be careful what you wish for
These stars are fading out
