One million years ago, a star exploded somewhere

Now's how long it took to see the light

Maybe you and me will never reach the greatest heights, but

In a million years, we'll burn that bright

You're gonna tell me I'm a pessimist

Well, maybe I've just come to terms with what life is

Isn't any fun trying to keep up with the Joneses

Maybe this is all we'll ever be

Maybe we're at the edge of the light

Just like that astrologer told us, oh

Maybe we're at the end of our life

Dying stars, supernovas

Supernovas

Supernovas

For thirty years, I've tried to write a song I thought might matter

I sing it as I put my son to bed, oh

He don't want my song, "Sing the one you sang about the star

I prefer that one instead"

That little children's song can make me feel so obsolete

Try to run to please my son, I cannot move my feet

I call out in the darkness, no one can hear

My time is still a million years away

Maybe we're at the edge of the light

Just like that astrologer told us, oh

Maybe we're at the end of our life

Dying stars, supernovas

Supernovas

Supernovas

Are we there yet? Oh

Are we there yet? Oh

Are we there yet? Oh

Are we there yet?

Or is this all it's ever gonna be?

I stare into the night sky, million-year-old light

Somehow it makes me feel everything's gonna be alright

I stare into the night sky, million-year-old light

Somehow it makes me feel everything's gonna be alright

Maybe we're at the edge of the light

Just like that astrologer told us, oh

Maybe we're at the end of our life

Dying stars, oh, supernovas

(Just wanna be with you, I just wanna be with you)

(Just wanna be with you, even if it's all we do)

Supernovas (Just wanna be with you, I just wanna be with you)

Supernovas (Just wanna be with you, even if it's all we do)
