Stars

by Justin Lacroix

Walking towards you all through the night
I crossed this same side street too many times
all these white picket fences barring my eyes
searching for my guiding light

: I tilt my head back and smile
and take this one in for a little while
not a thing will ever make me soar this high
I've never seen so many stars in my life

I woke up craving a morning so bright
to shine through the chill from that fright
to shine through the darkness into light
and lift me up into flight

(chorus)

It's not something I can force on your mind
how I wish I could, and I'll keep trying
if you'd just feel the lines in her hands
dig your toes in her sands what's the crime

(chorus)
