Lyrics
Now is just a place from which to begin
The heart is just a way to speak from within
And stories sung are only true
When they belong to me and you
If I want to be a star
Guess I’ll just keep on (Guess I’m asking for the Sun)
Living in my way I get so confused
Giving up the day to the heart of the muse
And many see the difference here
Is nothing more than what you hear
So when you’re knowing where you are
You’re probably heading for the sun
Reason or a rhyme can never be found
So keep up with the times ‘cause the past is gaining ground
And everything is so surreal
Do I have what it takes to heal
Though I may have come this far
Still miles and miles before the sun
