So Much More Than Light


She was a china-doll standing on the edge of the street
And someone's gotta get that girl off her feet
He said I'm going to the water am I going your way,
Come on pretty thing 'cause you sure can't stay
You know I'll never get around o being on your time
And I'll never get around to being just fine
And I never want to get around to where you are
'Cause you've got nothing but hopes of being a star

In a sky full of other stars
That is not what you are
You are so much more than light

She was overeducated and underestimated
And now she lost the man she dated 'cause her neighborhood is gated
And he's standing outside these verona walls
Waiting for his Juliet to call
But there's a storm a coming looking for a battlefield
And you left him out without a sword and shield
But it will make a better story when you talk about his scars
Cause you've got nothing but hopes of being a star.

He never met her father, he was sleeping upstairs
And her mother (a romantic) sure she didn't care
That she was out at all hours with a blue-collared boy
Only the best for her girl, lord knows she loves her toys
She had butterflies dancing in her solar plexus
When he hit a raccoon with her father's lexus
Thought he'd jump ship before they got this far,
But she still has hopes of being
A star
