When the Wires Are Down

It's a common place I know The beliefs of silly strangers Well, once you held my gaze And quit so firmly By the news on rotation You left an impression on me Now you remark about the drizzling skies Oh, no more of the old life Wearing out the hackneyed smiled That never reach the eyes Wish you woulda thought of staying open for awhile Gave me all that stardust, I'm left staring down the dark Or would I been left waiting here Oh, I've been biding my time But the wires are down When I ain't your star When did it become about email attachments Instead of late night conversations? Oh, and when did we lose the emotional attraction In pursuit of information Look at us made of wooden teams Now you're free to be the man you wish you'd be Wish you woulda thought of staying open for awhile Gave me all that stardust, I'm left staring down the dark Or I've been left waiting here Oh, I've been biding my time But the wires are down When I ain't your star Strange place to go from main street to zero Nothing's coming down awhile Into your busy, in your mind Strange place to go from main street to zero Nothing's coming down awhile Now into your busy, in your mind Wish you woulda thought of staying open for awhile Gave me all that stardust, I'm left staring down the dark Or I've been left waiting here Oh, I've been biding my time I've been biding my time Oh baby, when the wires are down Oh, and I ain't your star Oh baby, when the wires are down Oh, and I ain't your star Oh baby, when the wires are down Oh, and I ain't your star Oh baby, when the wires are down And I ain't your star No, I ain't your star
