Late bus

Last seat

Earbuds in

Same street

But my mind's on a runway

Ticket on a torn receipt

Blue pen

Back page

Sketching out a bigger stage

Whole world feels too small now

Like a sweater I outgrew at eight

I go beyond the stars

Past the ceiling of this town

Every "can't" they ever said

Is just noise in the background

I go beyond the stars

Where their limits fall apart

You can say I'm reaching far

But I'm just reaching for my heart

(I go, I go) beyond the stars

Handshake

Fake smile

Clock hands drag

Same tile

I can see a quiet future

And it scares me every time

So I stash my fear

In the pocket of this year

Walk home through the dark air

But it shines when you get near

I go beyond the stars

Past the ceiling of this town

Every "can't" they ever said

Is just noise in the background

I go beyond the stars

Where their limits fall apart

You can say I'm reaching far

But I'm just reaching for my heart

(I go, I go) beyond the stars
