Closer To The Stars Lyrics - While You Were Out - Soul Asylum

Caterpillar crawling up the big phone pole 

Is there somebody that you want to talk to? 

You know that pretty soon you'll be able to fly 

How is this going to affect you? 

Do you think it might wreck you? 

Your friends might reject you 

Say you took it too far 

You said you want to be, you want to be 

You want to be, you want to be 

Hooked on glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen 

Treat you with advice from a fashion magazine 

One day she just walked into that magazine 

I wonder if she'll ever come back 

And they all said she would crack 

They said her mind was one track 

Said she took it too far 

You said you want to be, you want to be 

You want to be, you want to be 

Closer to the stars 

Every time you move your lips 

Let me give you a few tips 

Yesterday you were too young 

Tomorrow you will be too old 

To regret all the things you've done who're you trying to hustle 

Somebody you wanna show your muscle? 

Second hand excuses never went too far 

What's this scene you're making? 

Your ideas have been taken 

We'll seek when you awaken alone in someone's car 

You just stood there shaking, stood there shaking 

They said you were faking 

You said you want to be, you want to be 

You want to be, you want to be 

Closer to the stars 

Closer to the stars
