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
