lyrics

So we hang out, just walking around.
You say this is nice, haven't seen ya in awhile.
When we were young, we would borrow the picks that we strummed.
And I would grin, face chalked cock-sure of the win.

You're feeling bad today?
Well I say call me anytime, I'm only a hundred million miles away.

Oh here we go, should have known I'm not the star of this show.
It's a trick of the light. I'm sure I'll be fine.

It's been a long time since I felt alright.
To you that's an average day, or at least an average night.
The battlefield is rough, but I believe love is only dead when you decide to give it up.

Oh here we are, cross lovers kept apart by the stars.
It's a trick of the light, I can't believe my eyes.

So here's to the future, and the whims of the deities.
I got my eyes fixed on the rat race, I gambled all my cheese.

And again you'll fall. Why'd you think you were the bell of this ball?
It's a trick of the light, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Here we are again, we sure break each other's hearts an awful lot for friends. If it's a trick of the light, oh well it feels so unkind.

So we hang out, just walking around.
You say this is nice, haven't seen ya in awhile.
It's a trick of the light, by the stars way up high.
Oh but I take heart, because I'd rather be tricked by the light, than left alone in the dark.
