Lyrics

Oh be a man, as fast as you can
Oh be a man, as fast as you can
Growing up wild, out in the fields
In awe of the stars, and the power they wield

Oh you loved them anyway
Don't think they noticed you

See how the stars change, from summer to fall
The sole indication, that we're moving at all
Carry the world, with the hands of a child
You can't be a boy, she wants you to be wild

She was the sun, sun, sun
And you were the moon
And the light of the sun
Fills up the room

Oh you loved her anyway
And she tried to love you

When she was asleep, you'd watch her face
Taken in sleep to a more peaceful place
You'd stand by the door, cause you were her guard
And you'd love her in silence, and it wasn't that hard

Cause she was the sun, sun, sun
And you were the moon
And the light of the sun
Eclipses the moon

Oh you loved her anyway
And she tried to love you

She never asked you, what you're dreaming of
She told you 'bout texas, and liquor and love
She was hard-edged and broken, she blamed a man
But she told you to be one, as fast as you can
