[Intro][melancholy piano arpeggio, distant strings] [Verse 1] I dreamed of adventure Out in the starlight Grew up on their stories While I waited and worried For the daaays they'd be hommme with me [build-up][slowly intensifying] And then he found you lost out in the starlight You didn't have what I had But we shared a loneliness I thought you'd understand I thought you'd see me as... Well... then you both went away [Pre-chorus][soft, restrained] And I stayed right where I belonged. [Chorus][full band, aching] I held the line, I did my time In the end, it didn't matter. I made the wrong right decision Now here I am, don't just brush me away [Post-chorus][Accelerating pitch riser] Ahhh ohhhhh Ahhh ahhh oh [Bridge][belted, soaring] I called you sister And you brushed me away He was my father But he left anyway Put my ambition Into the mission I climbed that mountain But found only emptiness [Breakdown][hollow, stripped back] The right wrong decision Was the one you both made, without me. [Interlude][melancholic cello ostinato] [Verse 2] Lord knows how I tried To catch up, to come near I thought you'd understand I thought you'd see me as... Well... then you both ran away [Build-up][driving, tense] I couldn't follow Out in the starlight The dutiful one responsible one Mother's good soldier Father's perfect daughter The legacy, Of my family [Pre-chorus][soft, restrained] So I stayed right where I belonged. [Chorus][full band, aching] I held the line, I did my time In the end, what did it matter? I made the wrong right decision Now here I am, please don't push me away [Post-chorus][Accelerating pitch riser] Ahhh ohhhhh Ahhh ahhh oh [Outro][wistful, fading] Lord knows how I tried To catch up, to come near I thought you'd understand I thought you'd see me as... But... I call you sister And you brush me away [fade-out] Now, I'm out here in the starlight making the right wrong decision Please... don't push me away. [End]
