Aim for the Almost, Ne'er the Stars

Aim for an almost
and you'll land amongst the clouds
and when the sky is falling
you'll come hurtling down

You can be a falling star,
I swear, it only hurts when you land
once you break your wings, your dreams,
in reality you'll stand

Can you hear the hourglass?
the plink plink of each falling stone
every instant wasted,
you'll feel ever more alone

Aloneness is so different,
it's the only way to live
you'll never get anything in return
but to others you can always give

So aim for your almost,
ne'er aim for the stars..
learn a lesson, lover,
cosmos only mean more scars
