When the lights go out
in the clubs the dancing stops
and the stars don't shine
on the streets of Hollywood
you come back into my mind
with your ways of doing
and your ways of being
come on, stay here with me
stay here with me
until the stars don't shine
I'm walking on a street
so not busy with traffic that
there's only me and your distance
to keep me company
I have a stone in my shoe
I have a $1 bill
and some dumb question, and
a song inside of me
I put into it what you are for me
you can listen to it when you want to
at a concert if you want to
you'll be able to look me in the face
to make the right choice
to go back to laughing together at each of my uncertanties
When the lights go out
in the clubs the dancing stops
and the stars don't shine
on the streets of Hollywood
you come back into my mind
with your ways of doing
and your ways of being
come on, stay here with me
stay here with me
until the stars don't shine
Walking on this street
a thousand miles from home
I count the steps of your distance
and each one of your smiles that I miss
When you smile, when you smile
the streets of this city fill back up
We are different sides of the same room
and in my head the usual question
When the lights go out
in the clubs the dancing stops
and the stars don't shine
on the streets of Hollywood
you come back into my mind
with your ways of doing
and your ways of being
come on, stay here with me
stay here with me
yeah, stay here with me
stay with me
until the stars don't shine
