A ballad that gets carried away into passionate excess, it's about the way a lover or companion can lift you out of the mire in the same way music can, and vice versa. It's a love song for lovers and music and music lovers.

Story behind the song
The song started from that phrase that popped into Anthony's head: some nights the stars don't seem that far, and a general idea that music and love work in similar ways. Live, the song often slows down to a battle between Louis (vocal scat) and Carter (on bass) until it kicks back in.
Lyrics
SOME NIGHTS THE STARS DON’T SEEM THAT FAR It’s a wide wide world and a long long way Between the dreams we had, and the traffic of today Some nights I feel like I’m driving into a big black space. Until you open up your eyes and illuminate the place. You make me sing like a summer night’s lead guitar Some nights the stars don’t see that far Never been a man for the Great Outdoors I love the Great Indoors and I’d rather it be yours Only music and you, can take me away You move me like the music, and the music moves you my way Your voice echoes in my chest like a bass guitar Some nights the stars don’t seem that far BRIDGE: The crowd’s buzzing with feedback, the security is failing Your father’s guitar it screaming and wailing My feet were the drums, your curiosity the bass We’re gonna make our own rhythm, make a circus of this place Ever since we met see with sonar Baby like a bat Bounce my thoughts off your heart just to see where I’m at You’re my bass and you’re my treble clef Let’s go out tonight see how many rebels left Come on baby with you in my car Some nights the stars don’t seem that far End: You make me! Sing! You make me! Laugh! You make me Cry! Etc.
