Tired, Of running through pipes And breaking bricks Just to find out She’s not there. Mushrooms bloom beneath my feet, Stars flash but they’re incomplete. Another wrong step, Another wrong turn, Toad’s silence says it all. The stars don’t shine the same, Coins slip through my hands. I close my eyes But she’s never there. The fireballs burn, The koopas crawl, And Boos float by, Silent through it all. I jump, But it’s never high enough. I run, But the flagpole’s always too far. Father of stars and gold, Chasing a love Just one more castle away. The stars don’t shine the same, Coins slip through my hands. I close my eyes But she’s never there. The fireballs burn, The koopas crawl, And Boos float by, Silent through it all. I jump, But it’s never high enough. I run, But the flagpole’s always too far. Fire in my chest, Smoke on my breath, Coins clink, then fade into the dark. Her name echoes through these hollow halls But she’s not there waiting for me. Maybe the stars don’t shine for me. Maybe the princess is just a dream. Maybe the pipes all lead to nowhere, And I’ve been lost this whole time. The fireballs burn, The koopas crawl, And Boos float by, Silent through it all. I jump, But maybe it’s not high enough. One more castle away… One more try to find you… Just one more… (just one more) Lost among stars and coins Just one more castle away One more try to find you (just one more)
