stargazing on a dark blue night

I was looking at the stars one night this past summer, all scattered out on a vast, dark blue sky, when something that I'd never really thought about before hit me: even though they look really, really tiny from where we're standing, down on this puny planet, they're HUGE somewhere, enormously HUGE, which is by no means a never before thought up concept...but for some reason, it was a revelation for me that night. Those stars are huge, somewhere...and that was really amazing to me.
God works in your mind in such small, yet big ways :]

{to God}

Picture life before I knew you
It was alright, it was ok
I'll paint my life before I loved you
There were never pictures in the hallway
There were no fireworks
There was no grand allure
That only happened when you came through my door

CHORUS:
And oh now
Life feels more than amazing
In your eyes
It feels like I've been stargazing

Feels like I'm living in a movie
Like I'm Fred Astaire
Singin' in the rain
I see the fireworks
I feel the grand allure
It happens every time
That you walk through my door

And oh now
Life feels more than amazing
In your eyes
It feels like I've been stargazing

There were no fireworks
There was no grand allure
That only happened when you came through my door

And oh now
Life feels more than amazing
In your eyes
It feels like I've been stargazing

Looking in your eyes
I'm stargazing
I'm stargazing
Looking in your eyes
I'm stargazing
I'm stargazing

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

I've been thinking 'bout everyone
Everyone, you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself

Stars looking at a planet watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
Ive been thinking of the meaning of resistance
Of a world beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home

I've been thinking 'bout everyone
everyone, you look so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself


Stars..Stars...


Everyone everyone you feel so lonely
Everyone, yeah, everyone you feel so empty

When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
when I look at the stars, the stars
I see someone...
