  • As a child, I knew
    That the stars could only get brighter
    And we would get closer
    Get closer
    Mmh

    As a child, I knew
    That the stars could only get brighter
    That we could get closer
    Leaving this darkness
    Behind

    Now that I'm older
    The stars should lie upon my face
    When I find myself alone
    Find myself alone
    Ooh

    Now that I'm older
    The stars should lie upon my face
    And when I find myself alone
    I feel like I, I am blind

    Feel it
    Feel it
    Feel it
    Feel it
    Like I, I am blind

    I wish the stars could shine now
    For they are closer, they are near
    But they will not present my present
    They will not present my present

    I wish the light could shine now
    For it is closer, it is near
    But it will not present my present
    It makes my past and future painfully clear

    To hear you now
    To see you now
    I can look outside myself
    And I must examine my breath and look inside
    Ooh

    To see you now
    To hear you now
    I can look outside myself
    And I must examine my breath and look inside
    Because I feel blind
    Because I feel blind

    I feel it
    I feel it
    I feel it
    I feel it like I, I'm blind

    And feel it
    Mmh and feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it

    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it
    Ooh, I feel it Writer/s: Andrew Butler, Anohni
