Secrets of the Stars by The Milk Carton Kids Lyrics

The only time I've ever heard the voice of God
Was in the silence of the night
In the arms of the one I love
Staring at the ceiling up above
Like it contained the secrets of the stars

Anytime I ever woke up in a dream
I saw my shadow there, staring back at me
Moving through the walls and wondering
As all the world rose up inside of me

And I long to hear the melody
That I one time played inside my mind
And to love another helplessly
So breathing feels like putting out a fire

Anytime my life flashes in front of me
I see a child there, as if on a screen
Standing in the shadows, flickering
For a moment I know what it means
All this time I lived inside a memory
Daylight creeping in through a crack in the weathered seam
Severing the ties and trembling
Losing our voices in the wind

And I long to hear the melody
That I one time played inside my mind
And to love another helplessly
So breathing feels like putting out a fire
