Lit tle run a way, the world’s nev er eas y.

You’re so good at be on me an y day.

And the fog makes it hard er to see me.

I’ll You don’t know i er where for you to see out the way.

Oh, you’re gold, but you don’t e ven (C)know it yet.

(F)go, may be both for get.

Won’t you come, and we can stare at the stars

and look at the com ets from the roof of my car.

Lit tle run a way, I know it’s been hard.

You’re try ing your best, but you keep fall ing a part.

There’s a u ni verse in front of us that knows how small we are.

Won’t you come and we can stare at the stars from the roof of my car.

You could hide Oh.

Ooh.

Mmm.

Won’t you come?

We could stare at the stars

and look at the com ets from the roof of my car.

Lit tle run a way, I know it’s been hard.

You’re try ing your best, but you keep fall ing a part.

Lay your prob lems right here.

Let them all dis ap pear on the roof of my car.
