[Verse 1]
How many stars? How many moons?
Count them all, it'd be too soon
By the time I searched my mind for a better rhyme
It's June
If I could sing, if I could croon
If I could only write the tune
That would make you take me to your room
It's a heaven there, I'd assume

[Chorus]
But up there is a stratosphere
And I'd like to take you there (I'd like to take you there)
I'm not sure I know the way (I'm not sure I know the way)
But I hate to hear you say (I hate to hear you say)
You wanna throw yourself in the river
And ask to be delivered to the ocean
You wanna throw yourself in the river
And expect to be considered more than a casual news item

[Verse 2]
Why should I get so nervous
When she'd consider suicide first?
How could my love be that much worse?
How could I be that much worse?
Well, it sounded pretty good rehearsed in my head
But as soon as I said it, I wished I was dead
So we've something in common after all
So I turned and said (So I turned and said)

[Chorus]
But up there is a stratosphere
And I'd like to take you there (I'd like to take you there)
I'm not sure I know the way (I'm not sure I know the way)
But I hate to hear you say (I hate to hear you say)
You wanna throw yourself in the river
And ask to be delivered to the ocean
You wanna throw yourself in the river
And expect to be considered more than a casual news item

[Bridge]
Na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Well, I bet we'd make a bigger splash if we did it together
If we both throw ourselves in the river
And ask to be delivered to the ocean
If we both throw ourselves in the river
We're sure to get something bigger than a passing mention
A passing mention (Throw ourselves in the river)
Na-na-na, a passing mention (Ask to be delivered to the ocean)
[Outro]
How many stars?
How many moons?
How many stars?
How many moons?
How many stars?
How many moons?
