Plans

Stand up straight and close your eyes

Don't look now the evening sun has burned through everyone

We're silhouettes, we're dark as night

Why'd we let the sunshine in when we began

Burned through our hearts and all our plans

But if you don't try you might just succeed at nothing

Sometimes failure requires a certain effort

Sparks fly past your averted eyes

So love just comes and goes

Hold your hand up to the sky

If you could you'd gather every star you'd ever wished on

Interrogating every one

Why'd they have to let you down when

You'd confided all you want is love to light you up

But if you don't try you might just succeed at nothing

Sometimes failure requires a certain effort

Sparks fly past your averted eyes

So love just comes and goes

Now when you look at the stars are you just thinking about

How long ago they burned out

When you're so far away it takes time to see change

These things are bigger than we are

And if you'd try this just might amount to something

There's still danger in never getting hopes up again

Sparks fly and love may come and go but

Your light's much brighter than you know

Don't try, you just might succeed at nothing

Sometimes failure requires a certain effort

Sparks fly past your averted eyes

And love just comes and goes
