A new year You see the world for more than they'd appear It's hard enough just chasing all those tears I hope you make the best of you from here Stay where you are, grow old tomorrow Don't go too far, stay in the shallow My shining star, our time is precious Our time is precious We set the world on fire We climbed for something higher We didn't know any wiser Oh I know we want to be happier A billion stars are trying Imagine all the colors shining We're after the same happiness inside Another new year Still we cling to something that we hold dear We dread to face our deepest darkest fears The distance makes it hard to make it clear Stay where you are, grow old tomorrow Don't go too far, stay in the shallow My shining star, our time is precious Our time is precious We set the world on fire We climbed for something higher We didn't know any wiser Oh I know we want to be happier We're all just stars colliding Imagining the colors shining We're after the same happily ever afters After every heartache After every story After every moment We're all we've got Let's set the world on fire Climb for something higher Oh the universe is our empire Let's grow until we can't be happier We're all just stars colliding Imagining the colors shining We're after the same happily ever after We're after the same happiness inside We're after the same happily ever afters
