Shooting at the stars

We're not quite sold on your fascination for holding on
And all the lessons that you want to teach life's already done
We don't think we're home yet
But it can't be that far
We don't think we're home yet
But we're shooting at the stars

Stuck in a chorus with life before us we're sure to sing
So I checked the mail and the check is there
Here's my offering
Do you think we'll do what we said that we'd do when it's time to?
Because out of time is not a reason it's a weakness that we cling to

We're a long, long, long way from home
