February Stars

Foo Fighters · Colour & The Shape

Hanging on
Here until I'm gone
I'm right where I belong
Just hanging on

Even though
Watched you come and go
How was I to know
You'd steal the show?

One day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
Bet it all

Hanging on
Here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hanging on

Even though
I pass this time alone
Somewhere so unknown
It heals the soul

You ask for walls
I'll build them higher
We'll lie in shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
And I fall

CHORUS
February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars

REPEAT CHORUS (2X)
