I'm lyin under the stars.
Talking to myself
And suddenly I remember you
I remember all the scars
The years up on the shelf
The lines you tied to me that pulled me through.

But you never knew the lion
You only knew the lamb
And maybe that's for the best
But I remember how you were cryin'
And I'll never understand
Why God always makes us fail our last test.

And I'm lyin' under the stars
Counting the scars in the ceiling
I'm trying not to think
You might have never made it through
As far as the earth is from the heavens
My thoughts are chasing after you
And as I wonder where you are
Suddenly the stars fade from view.

You lulled me to sleep
With stories I would keep
Even if the details kind of blurred
And I remember I heard
In more than just words
That love could over come a broken world

And I'm lyin' under the stars
Counting the scars in the ceiling
I'm trying not to think
You might have never made it through
As far as the earth is from the heavens
My thoughts are chasing after you
And as I wonder where you are
Suddenly the stars fade from view.

The hand that held me up
Shivered as it fell
And I just stood there saying it would pass
I never should have let that moment pass

And I'm lyin' under the stars
Counting the scars in the ceiling
I'm trying not to think
You might have never made it through
As far as the earth is from the heavens
My thoughts are chasing after you
And as I remember your eyes
All the sugar coated lies
I remember your smile
And those long homeward miles
I remember how you cried
Years after grand pa died
I remember holding your hand
And me trying to understand
How something once so strong
Could shiver too
I prayed but I could not believe it was true
That you...

I remember your eyes
And suddenly the stars blur from view.
