Under The Western Stars

Paint the stars in the sky
On the ceiling above our bed
Roll through the night with your blood
Beating hard like a drum inside my head

Paint the stars in the sky
That were shining on the night we met
If we can do this
Then we can do anything

Throw the clothes in a pile
In the corner on the dirty wood floor
Open up the big windows
Throw a chain on the double locked doors

Open up to the flame, so strong
It feels so good even though
We know it's wrong
When we make love, I feel complete
Yeah, like I can do anything

We can lose ourselves to the faraway sound
Of the noise of the boulevard
We can lose ourselves tonight
Underneath the western stars

The wind sounds just like the ocean
Blowing big through the trees in my backyard
I sit alone in a dark room
Smoking and wondering where you are

You went away when the truth came down
The sex was not enough for you
To make you wanna stick around
You said that I made you feel weak
I made you feel like you couldn't do anything

I try to sing myself to sleep to the rhythm
Of the sound of the boulevard cars
Yeah, I lay awake with my eyes wide open
Underneath the western stars

Hard promises broken
Should have never been made
You were cold in your anger
I was warm in the shame

I don't have any illusions
Of the good old days
If we make it through this
Then I know that we can do anything
We can do anything

I'm going to walk all the steps
Find a place where I can lie
Lay on my back in the grass
And stare at the stars in the warm night sky

I'm gonna find me a new blond girl
Hungry for the things
That don't come easy in the real world
She will let me be myself
I know she will let me do anything

We can lose ourselves making love all night
On a blanket, in the neighborhood park
We can lose ourselves making love all night
Underneath the western stars
We can lose ourselves tonight
Underneath the western stars

Hard promises broken
Should have never been made
You were cold in your anger
I was warm in the shame

I don't have any illusions
Of the good old days
If I can make it through this
Then I know that I can do anything
Yeah, I can do anything
