"Stars" as written by Mindi Beth Abair and Matthew W. Hager....
Maybe I've been a problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off
And blame myself the outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been part of the cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking if the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Yeah!
Everyone, everyone who feels so lonely
Everyone, yeah everyone who feels so empty
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone
OHH!
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off
And blame myself the outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been part of the cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking if the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Yeah!
Everyone, everyone who feels so lonely
Everyone, yeah everyone who feels so empty
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone
OHH!

the fact that their lifes are passing by
without a purpose or cause
"How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane"
everything the world has got to offer us
my seem great and fine but they are just making us sad and not who we were attended to be
"Everyone, everyone feels so lonely
Everyone yeah everyone feels so empty
When I look at the stars"
i think that part means is that when Jon Foreman wrote
that he see that everyone is miserable
but is telling everyone that when you look for something more to life
these problems that we are facing are very small
and the thing we should look for that is "more than life"
is far greater than what we can comprehend.

Entropy is chaos and lack of order. The universe is forever increasing in chaos. Stars and ultimately life itself are the opposite of entropy... Order. So when he sees the stars he is seeing creation. Assuming since Switchfoot has a very Christian and Biblical view he remembers that God is watching him and we were created in his image. So when he sees God he can see himself (Or what he wants to be).
"When I look at the stars, the stars
I feel like myself"
i think he means that when he starts feeling all proud like he amounts to something, he sees God's creation, such as stars, and it puts him in his place. he realizes how small and insignificant he is compared to the rest of the universe. i get this feeling a lot.
Switchfoot rocks, but God rules.
Personally I love this song, it's got a fun sound to it imo, and I love staring at the stars, it makes me smile and feel really proud to be a part of the world and universe and really thankful for everything that God has given us : )
