the universe will give you life
then turn you around
throw you into the wild and say
go and figure it out

play by the rules as much as you can
til you learn with age
what you can’t do and then
try and make a change

but when the world lasts two weeks
you don’t get far
when the suns forms and burns out in fourteen days
all you can hope to be is someone else’s star
in someone else’s sky a trillion miles away
a googleplex of years down the road
maybe one day our light will guide someone home

we do our best to make meaning
that means something
that leaves a mark that’s bigger
than the shapes we’re in

we make some friends and tell ‘em
how we love ‘em so
and we fight to make a space
in which our kids can grow

but when the world lasts two weeks
you don’t get far
when the suns forms and burns out in fourteen days
all you can hope to be is someone else’s star
in someone else’s sky a trillion miles away
a googleplex of years down the road
maybe one day our light will guide someone home

things were here before me
and they’ll still stay here when i’m gone

all the time i get is here and now

blink and it’s over
the candle wax is running low

if all i got is what i’ve got
then i’m gonna make it count

when the world lasts two weeks
you don’t get far
when the suns forms and burns out in fourteen days
all you can hope to be is someone else’s star
in someone else’s sky a trillion miles away
a googleplex of years down the road
maybe one day our light will guide someone home
