Is it asking too much to be given time
  To know these songs and to sing them
  Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
  And my laugh and lies that bring them
  
  But as the stars are going out
  And this stage is full of nothing
  And the friends have all but gone
  For my life my god I'm singing
  
  We'll take our hearts outside
  Leave our lives behind
  I'll watch the stars go out
  
  Is it asking too much of my favorite friends
  To take these songs for real
  Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
  To take these songs real
  
  Is it asking too much
  Is it asking too much
