The Milk Carton Kids - Monterey Secrets Of The Stars

Lyrics

the only time i 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

any time 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 one time played inside my mind
and to love another helplessly
so breathing feels like putting out a fire

any time 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 seams
severing the ties and trembling
losing all the voices in the wind

and i long to hear the melodies
that one time played inside my mind
and to love another helplessly
so breathing feels like putting out a fire
