[Verse 1]
When you found him he was lying in the road
You held him in your arms so he was safe
And you talked for hours, soft and quiet
You watched the light change as if you came from it
And you both laughed at the dumb things we repeat
That buy us time or keep us with the other sheep
We marry our fear but what makes the night not so deep
Is someone to watch over us while we sleep
[Chorus]
You found him lying on the road
You traveled miles but never got too far
He lost his heart when you were bringing out the stars
When you were bringing out the stars
[Verse 2]
And you said, "Isn’t the night beautiful?"
"Do you feel the weightlessness at the heart of things?"
It made him laugh because it made him remember
How easy it is to love
[Chorus]
In your arms, they were everything
They filled the sky like Jimi’s sad that guitar
And he lost his heart when you were bringing out the stars
When you were bringing out the stars
When you were bringing out the stars
When you were bringing out the stars
[Verse 3]
Then in the morning he walked you down
He knew he had to let you go
And all day long he wore a smile
‘Cause he saw the joy that’s waiting for his soul
