Everybody's got to shed a little skin

Everybody was naked to begin

Towards the end I was just singing through my disguise

Towards the end it was you

That put that light right back behind my eyes

You're from tender, forgotten streets

Where there's a thousand and one retreats for me

You held me captive just by being who you are

I was rested but let me tell you every sun comes out to catch a falling star

I had a bad habit

Of just letting everything around me slide

Whole town went to the fairground

Guess who had to pay for everybody's ride

Now if I robbed a bank I know where I would hide

With my back to the city and you by my side

You held me captive just by being who you are

I was rested but let me tell you every sun comes out to catch a falling star

Falling star, falling star

Falling star, falling star

Just a falling star, baby, falling star

Falling star, just a falling star
