'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I'm gonna give you my heart

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

'Cause you light up the path

 

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars

I think I saw you

 

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I want to die in your arms, oh, oh-oh

'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark

I'm gonna give you my heart, oh

 

I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh

'Cause in a sky, 'cause in sky full of stars

I think I see you

I think I see you

 

'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars

Such a heavenly view

You're such a heavenly view

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh).

Loving can hurt

Loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard

You know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing that makes us feel alive

 

We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen still

 

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone

Wait for me to come home

 

Loving can heal

Loving can mend your soul

And it's the only thing that I know (know)

I swear it will get easier

Remember that with every peace of ya

And it's the only thing we take with us when we die

 

We keep this love in this photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes were never closing

Hearts were never broken

And time's forever frozen still

 

So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone

 

And if you hurt me

Well that's okay baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me

And I won't ever let you go

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

Wait for me to come home

 

You can fit me

Inside the necklace you bought

When you were sixteen

Next to your heartbeat where I should be

Keep it deep within your soul

 

And if you hurt me

Well that's okay baby, only words bleed

Inside these pages you just hold me (hold me)

And I won't ever let you go

 

When I'm away

I will remember how you kissed me

Under the lamppost back on Sixth street

Hearing you whisper through the phone

Wait for me to come home.

There was a time

I used to look into my father's eyes

In a happy home

I was a king, I had a gold throne

Those days are gone

Now they're memories on the wall

I hear the songs

From the places where I was born

 

Up on the hill, across the blue lake

That’s where I had my first heartbreak

I still remember how it all changed

My father said

 

Don't you worry, don't you worry, child

See, heaven's got a plan for you

Don't you worry, don't you worry now

Yeah

Don't you worry, don't you worry, child

See, heaven's got a plan for you

Don't you worry, don't you worry now

Yeah

 

There was a time

I met a girl of a different kind

We ruled the world

I thought I'd never lose her out of sight

We were so young

I think of her now and then

I still hear the songs

Reminding me of a friend

 

Up on the hill, across the blue lake

That’s where I had my first heartbreak

I still remember how it all changed

My father said

 

Don't you worry, don't you worry, child

See heaven's got a plan for you

Don't you worry, don't you worry now

Yeah

See, heaven's got a plan for you

See, heaven's got a plan for you

See, heaven's got a plan for you

 

Don't you worry, don't you worry, child

See, heaven's got a plan for you

Don't you worry, don't you worry now

Yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah!
