I want to hang 'round the pumpkin patch
But you dropped down the wishing well
And I haven't had a wish strong enough
To lure you back up
Now everyday's a pillow
That's turning to salt water
And I'm drowning in all of my dreams.
In my bare hands
I took a star from out of the sky
She shines through my cupped hands
And flickers in all my jars
They say she's gonna melt on through,
That it's gonna burn me bad.
But what if I could keep her?
What if I could extinguish her flame
And hold her real, real close?
