of all the shootingstars i knew

i never felt at ease with anyone but you

don't ever wonder where i go

remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow



when everything around turns blue

just fall asleep and wake when it's all through



there's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out here and play



and now i've lost your touch again

i know i'm only one in 20,000 men

i promise not to let you go

just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow



when i finally wash ashore

i'm coming back to kiss the girl i kissed before

of all the shootingstars i knew

i never fell for anyone but you



there's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out here and play

there's battlescars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday

there's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out everyday

there's battlescars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me anyway



(and driving home from your house at night i blink and make a hard right

the tape you gave me flies across the dash and slaps me in the face
