Is it asking too much to be given time 
To know these songs and to sing them 
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile 
And my laugh and lies that bring them 

But as the stars are going out 
And this stage is full of nothing 
And the friends have all but gone 
For my life my god I'm singing 

We'll take our hearts outside 
Leave our lives behind 
I'll watch the stars go out 

Is it asking too much of my favorite friends 
To take these songs for real 
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands 
To take these songs real 

Is it asking too much 
Is it asking too much
