[Verse 1]
I'm on a mission, resuming transmission that checked out for too long
Was put into submission till I wrote down it all
But the truth is I cannot be trusted with what's in my head
Soon the crowd's position's braced with getting out of bed
Wake up and pay my dues till I'm blue in the face
Falling in line with the rest till I'm out of the race
But I'm losing it over nothing, just clearing space
You can only dance with the darkness till dawn takes place

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we're just a speck in this world and they say "take it or leave it"

[Chorus]
Short on stardust, but there's still time
I needed you to hear me out and free me from all my doubts
(Now you found me)
I can't feel you but there's still time
Yeah, it doesn't mean when I am low
No one's ever been this close
Can you hear me?

[Verse 2]
It's not easy to change in a world of chaos
'Cause in layman's terms I was the pit boss
Choking down the last of my entitlement
I kiss the ring goodbye while we're still young but follow through in the light of it
I thank my lucky stars for this life of ambition
I have you and the life of a musician
Push the reset button, reboot up and take what you get
Let love in and take care of the rest of it
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we're just a speck in this world and they say "take it or leave it"

[Chorus]
Short on stardust, but there's still time
I needed you to hear me out and free me from all my doubts
(Now you found me)
I can't feel you but there's still time
Yeah, it doesn't mean when I am low
No one's ever been this close, can you hear me?

[Bridge]
Can you hear me now?

[Chorus]
Short on stardust, but there's still time
I needed you to hear me out and free me from all my doubts
(Now you found me)
I can't feel you but there's still time
Yeah, it doesn't mean when I am low
No one's ever been this close, can you hear me?
