Glow (Julien’s Song)

I've got nine of your stars on my ceiling
Every time I go to sleep, I see them
But they stayed safe in a ziplock bag
For eight years
Cause I wasn't ready to see 'em everyday
Too mad at the world for taking you away
So early, so young
It won't ever make sense to anyone

October fifteenth
You would've been sixteen
I needed to do something
So, I put 'em all up
All of the same ones
You had over your bed

And when people ask I tell 'em that
You were only eight years old
And some say it's sad, but I tell 'em that
It's beautiful to know
They still glow
Glow
They still glow

Took a while before I realized it
I almost took 'em down
Cause it'd been so long I thought their light
Had gone out
But I wasn't ready to give up just yet
Got mad at myself for even hoping
They'd go on without you
Just because I had to

October nineteenth
I know it sounds crazy
I didn't drink that much
I swore I was seeing things
Highlighter yellow-green
Shining down when I looked up

And ever since then around 1 AM
My eyes can't seem to close
And I lie sleepless in amazement cause
It's beautiful to know
They still glow
Glow
They still glow

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I can't help but think
It's you
Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo-oo
Who else could it be
But you?

Oh, when people ask I tell them that
You were only eight years old
And some say it's sad
But I tell 'em that
It's beautiful to know

You still glow
Glow
You still glow
You glow, you glow, you glow
You still glow
Glow
You still glow
You glow, you glow, you glow

You still glow
