== Lyrics ==

I was reaching for starlight,<br/>
Only to discover<br/>
I was grasping at a reflection<br/>
In a puddle in a gutter.

I only needed to look up;<br/>
I only needed to do better.

== Story / Background ==
<!-- include any information about the song such as who wrote it, where, under what circumstances, its meaning, or any trivia -->
The chorus and first verse came from words spoken by [[Smidge]] bassist [[Eamonn "Easy" Yarrow]], which prompted guitarist [[Chris "Blade" Blakehart]] to recognize the makings of a song and ask him to write them down, saying "Write those lyrics down before you forget. Please? I can ''feel'' the chords for them." The song was subsequently developed by the band as a whole.
