## Lyrics

### Full Version

The trail of a falling star
Without you
A love song on my guitar
Without you
Mean nothing, are worthless
To me
We spoke the world's mother tongue
Do we now?
We used to say "We are one"
Can we now?
Together forever
A law that we will not defy
A promise, a catchphrase,
a lie?
Even when the light is gone
And you think you've lost someone
Believe that everything is not done
Because the universe owes you one
Realize the light ain't gone
'Cause you're gonna find someone
Who'll show you everything is not done
Because the universe owes you one
Be real to everyone
And give to anyone
And then the universe
will always owe you one
The drops of the ceasing rain
They fall slow
And as the drops start to wane
They borrow a sunray
Your sorrows
Are color painted all the way
And you grow a rainbow
in you
Even when the light is gone
And you think you've lost someone
Believe that everything is not done
Because the universe owes you one
Realize the light ain't gone
(Realize...)
'Cause you're gonna find someone
(You'll find someone)
Who'll show you everything is not done
Because the universe owes you one
Be real to everyone
And give to anyone
And then the universe
will always owe you one
I promise you the dark is done
Find me with the morning sun
With you all the while you were gone
Because the universe owes you one
'Cause you and I are one
The universe is one
Believe, we will forever
owe each other one
Be real to everyone
And give to anyone
And then the universe
will always owe you one
The universe will always owe you one

### Alex Version

The trail of a falling star
Without you
A love song on my guitar
Without you
Mean nothing, are worthless
To me
Even when the light is gone
And you think you've lost someone
Believe that everything is not done
Because the universe owes you one
Realize the light ain't gone
'Cause you're gonna find someone
Who'll show you everything is not done
Because the universe owes you one
'Cause you and I are one
The universe is one
Believe, we will forever
owe each other one
Be real to everyone
And give to anyone
And then the universe
will always owe you one
Be real to everyone
And give to anyone
And then the universe
will always owe you one
The universe will always owe you one
