Of all the shooting stars 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 battle scars 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 shooting stars I knew
I never fell for anyone but you

There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out here and play
There's battle scars on my face and my arms but you still kiss me everyday
There's battle scars on all my guitars but I still come out everyday
There's battle scars 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)

    General CommentI think this song has a deeper meanign than just being able to relate to it.
    The opening lyric: 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

    In my mind makes reference to someone loosing a lover over something stupid.

    the next line: when everything around turns blue
    just fall asleep and wake when it's all through

    I think it's saying that life is sorta like a dream, good bad, it's still there.

    the next line: there's battlescars on all my guitars but i still come out here and play

    the guitar reference is easily assosiated with his heart, there's scars, but still he talks to her.

    Then the next line: 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

    It's the artist telling that s/he had lost the person he's in love with. and How he wishes it was a dream.

    next line is the chorus, see above and it works with all of them into some body party of soul ect.

    Thank you, I bought this cd after watching a Mtv2 interview with the band from the Vans Warped Tour

    General CommentThis a great downer song, if youre feeling emotionally traumatized, this song helps. I mean, you just want to yel out the words, not just sing them and woo-hoo, Ozma is at Warped Tour, which they greatly deserve to be on, though Im mad at their friends Thrice arent going to be there.
