lyrics

LOOK AT THAT

Look at that girl sitting over there
Her virgo dress sets off that auburn hair
Look at her grey eyes, so gentle, so sad
Look at that girl, the girl I never had
She’s the girl I never had

Look at that rock star, up there in the light
Like a satelite shining in the stratosphere of night
See those dark eyes staring past the crowd
Look at that boy, I wish that I was him right now
I was him right now

We all dream our secret dreams – yeah
None of us are what we seem – ah
When things don’t turn out like we planned – we say
I guess it’s just the way I am –
The way I am

We all know just how this goes - yeah
The secret everybody knows - ah
This is not a race we’re in – yeah
But everyone still hopes to win

Look at this world, it’s an amazing place
We all get by with tenacity and grace
Life is strange, things don’t always turn out right
Look this world, how it shines like this tonight
Yeah it shines like this tonight.
