A window opened in the sky
The night that we first kissed
And though we slept beneath the stars
You were wide awakeI lay bewildered by your touch
Heard your almost sighs
Felt your tears fall on my skin
As if you'd breakYou saw the end in our beginning
Strange the way it goes
Was your heart too shadowed by your scars?
You whispered, "This can never be"
As you looked into the sky
What did you see inside the stars?And in the end, you couldn't bear
What you could not control
So with one unfinished prayer
I let you disappearSo many words you never said
So many songs that died
What pulled us from each other's arms was fearAnd now you come and stand before me?
After all these years
You pull me in and tell me you were wrong
But don't you know the summer's over?
Oh, you waited too long
What did you see inside the stars?You know we had a chance that summer
I should not have let go
Should have ripped those stars out of the skyI always knew you loved me
You would not let it show
Do you know how long I've wondered why?And now you come and stand before me
After all these years
You pull me in and tell me you were wrong
But don't you know the summer's over?Oh, you waited too long
Was there such danger in the stars?
Why did you sink into the stars?
What did you see inside the stars?
