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)
