Braiding my hair in a rush to leave

I've never seen it before, but I start to get it now

Someone else's face is shadowing mine

And you have been giving me looks that I just can't take no more

Decades trying to sound more interesting

Is this what I really am, or a well-written summary

Of the books I read, the art, the scenes in films

That left me astounded?

I wonder, will I ever charm someone?

Maybe you could hunt down my memories

Find a place where it could have been possible

To change the course of the river I'm floating on

Wouldn't it be sweet

Could be easier than what it seems

I almost grasped it, but there's still a blur

The outlines are far from being sharp, but I remember very clear

The feeling that we would become someone

In spite of being wronged and deceived by our peers and the whole universe

There are stars way bigger than the sun

They shine bright, they seem to wink at us

But they don't move, they don't know who we are

As the years go by

Will we ever become someone?

Oh, what we've become, you'd never guess

It's like we traveled at the speed of light

What we wished for then

And the times we fell

We have outdone ourselves so many times

Faster and stronger than what we wished when we were fifteen

Call me, oh, call my name, I'll be right where you left me

You'll see me shining across the night just like Alpha Centauri

And I'll be waiting for you to go for another spin

Call me, oh, call my name, I'll be right where you left me

You'll see me shining across the night just like Alpha Centauri

And I'll be waiting for you to go for another spin

Call me, oh, call my name, I'll be right where you left me

You'll see me shining across the night just like Alpha Centauri

And I'll be waiting for you to go for another spin
