Lirik lagu "Lost Stars" sebagai berikut:

Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies

Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see

Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow

Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand

I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow

So let's get drunk on our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?

Woe is me, if we're not careful turns into reality

Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow

Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer

Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending

Where we're dancing in our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark? (Ooh-ooh, ooh)

And I thought I saw you out there crying (ooh-ooh)

And I thought I heard you call my name (yeah-yeah)

And I thought I heard you out there crying

Oh, just the same

God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light, light up the dark? (Ooh-ooh, ooh)

And I thought I saw you out there crying (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I thought I heard you call my name (ooh, ooh-ooh)

And I thought I heard you out there crying, oh

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
