a million stars

warm summer night
just me and the sky
a million stars
all in my eye at once
and i'm missin' you

i looked at all
the places you go
searching for you
even the sky don't know
yeah, i'm missin' you

(bridge)
sky full of stars
one of them must be you
if you see my heart
tell me what i should do

(chorus)
'cause right now, in the middle of the night
got a crisis of the heart
i gotta know, i need some kind of plan
to get me back to you
somehow, something just went wrong
and i let you slip away
and right now, amidst a million stars
i hope you'll be okay

lost summer dreams
caught up in a lie
a wounded heart
how can i make you see?
i need you here

i've been through hell
i made a mistake
now i'm asking you
can't you feel i'm real by now?
and i'm missin' you

(back to bridge...then chorus)

the coast of nothing

winter forsakes me
and brings me no snow
here on the coast of nothing
heart of the season
but it never gets cold
here on the coast of nothing

day after day
in the sun and the haze
you'd think that the month would be june
i've never felt winter this way
a most disagreeable tune

the sleds in the shed
and my skates are untouched
here on the coast of nothing
unhappy snowflakes
won't land in my yard
here on the coast of nothing

day after day
in the sun and the haze
you'd think that the month would be june
i've never felt winter this way
a most disagreeable tune

the ice on the pond
never lasts long
here on the coast of nothing
the air can't get cold
with the warmth that it holds
here on the coast of nothing
