Don't need a star

I don't care how long it takes
But I'll reach the stars
And all the possibilities
As long as I have you beside me

Only because I know
That when I'm searching for my stars
I might reach them and,
And their light might already be gone

But when I turn around to the dark
You're heart is there to give me light
And your arms
To embrace me
With a warmth a star could never give

And when my hopes get the better of me
And I leave your arms
To reach for the stars,
I know you'll let go
But follow behind

So that when I get too close,
And the star starts to burn me,
You'll be there to pull me back
And dress my wounds

Eventually, I'll stop reaching for the stars
And realize,
That the only light I need,
Is the one right in front of me
