In The Stars

Sunday mornings were your favorite

I used to meet you down on

Woods Creek road

You did your hair up

like you were famous

Even though it’s only church

where we were goin

Now Sunday mornings

I just sleep in

It’s like I buried my faith

with you

screaming at a god

I don’t know if I believe in

Cause I don’t know

what else I can do

I’m still holding on

To everything

that’s dead and gone

I don’t wanna say goodbye

cause this one means forever

Now you’re in the stars

And six feet’s never felt so far

Here I am alone between

the heavens and the embers

Oh it hurts so hard

For a million different reasons

You took the best of my heart

And left the rest in pieces

Digging through

your old birthday letters

A crumpled 20 still in the box

I don’t think that I could ever

find a way to spend it

Even if it’s the last 20

that I’ve got

I’m still holding on

To everything

that’s dead and gone

I don’t wanna say goodbye

cause this one means forever

Now you’re in the stars

And six feet’s never felt so far

Here I am alone between

the heavens and the embers

Oh it hurts so hard

For a million different reasons

You took the best of my heart

And left the rest in pieces

I’m still holding

holding holding on

I’m still holding

holding holding on

I’m still holding

holding holding on

I’m still still holding on

I’m still holding on

To everything

that’s dead and gone

I don’t wanna say goodbye

cause this one means forever

Now you’re in the stars

And six feet’s never felt so far

Here I am alone between

the heavens and the embers

Oh it hurts so hard

For a billion different reasons

You took the best of my heart

And left the rest in pieces
