sit on the front porch drinking whiskey
thinking songs about a love that never was
and a girl that slipped away from me

and I... get lost among these stars
a billion destinations where i will never be
and I... get lost among these stars
all the constellations are staring back at me
and I...

sometimes my name is not enough to remind her of me
sometime she lies awake and the sky outside her window loves me
and the whiskey keeps me warm, it lights a fire inside me
wish i still did the same for her

and I... get lost among these stars
a billion destinations that i will never see
and I... get lost among these stars
all the constellations are staring back at me
and I...

as i go spinning into space don't know which way is down
and i kind of like it this way cause it's been too long now that
i've been sinking in this world, i've been drowning down and
nice to be free from gravity

and I... get lost among these stars
a billion destinations where i will never be
and I... get lost among these stars
all the constellations are staring back at me
and I...


these stars
