Weary and walking and wanting to go
Tired of just talking and wanting to know
Traveling northwards alone in this car
Faraway lights become stars

Traveling backwards
Like looking up high
At a star not yet born in the sky

'Cause I'm far away
But I'm coming home
And I'm on my way to you
Say you will or you won't
Say, 'I do' or 'I don't'
Say whatever you want if it's true

If it's true

I look up at hillsides as we climb still higher
Not far in the distance a station, a spire
I look down through windows at old men in bars
Faraway lights become stars

Traveling backwards
What will I find?
Are you at the end of this line?

'Cause I'm far away
But I'm coming home
And I'm on my way to you
Say you will or you won't
Say, 'I do' or 'I don't'
Say whatever you want if it's true

If it's true

As I come towards you, I stop and I stare
I know right away from the back of your hair
The taxi sign ebbs in the still sea of cars
And faraway lights become stars
