"In The Stars" lyrics

"In The Stars"

Sunday mornings were your favorite
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road
You did your hair up like you were famous
Even though it's only church where we were going
Now Sunday mornings, I just sleep in
It's like I've buried my faith with you
I'm screaming at a God, I don't know if I believe in
'Cause I don't know what else I can do

I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever
Now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

Digging through your old birthday letters
A crumpled twenty still in the box
I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it
Even if it's the last twenty that I've got

Oh, I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever
Now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

I'm still holding (On), holding (On), holding on
I'm still holding (On), holding (On), holding on
I'm still holding (On), holding (On), I'm still holding on
I'm still... ooh, still holding on

I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye 'cause this one means forever
Now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces

Benson Boone commented on "In The Stars" on Instagram on the release day, the 29th of April, 2022, "This is a very personal song to me [...] Losing someone you love is something everyone experiences at some point. I wrote this song trying to help me get over the loss of someone I was very close with, but instead it helped me feel at peace with it. The memories of someone who's left your life will always stick with you, and I hope this song will help those memories feel like a blessing not a curse. I hope you all love this song as I do, and feel at peace while listening. I love you all so much, and am truly blessed to have such a beautiful fan base. Remember who you are, be yourself, love others, love yourself, and enjoy this little piece of my heart." The song was inspired by the passing of his grandmother at the age of 97.
The cover art picture of this song was drawn by Benson Boone himself and he posted a video of the creating process on Instagram on the 26th of April, 2022.
