Miles across this state
And hours away
Looking for a reason to sing
Like nobody's listening to me

My dear friend
Oh, how I've longed for us to live again
This distance between us
Has never been to great to keep
Our voices from dancing together

[Chorus]

I fall in love with the world all over again
Wrapped in the sound
That's greater than the sum of all our parts
And everything that we were taught

I've put on mileage
Like a Japanese automobile
They tell me

Give it up, give up the ghost
I can't let go, it's all I've ever known
Of life and love and everything that's
Ever meant anything to me

[Chorus]

I fall in love with the world all over again
Wrapped in the sound
That's greater than the sum of all our parts
And everything that we were taught

Oh, my stars and garters

What if I were to open my hands
And keep my arms held wide
I would make you believe
That a boy can fly

Oh, my stars
Is a name I won't forget
