In the Stars
Benson Boone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Diggin' through your old birthday letters
A crumbled 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), 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 billion different reasons
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces
The lyrics to Benson Boone's "In The Stars" explore the pain and sadness felt after a loved one's death. The song is addressed to someone who has passed away, specifically a woman who was once very important to him. He reflects on how they used to spend Sunday mornings together, getting ready for church. However, since she has passed, he no longer attends church and feels like he has lost his faith in a higher power. He talks about how he is still holding onto everything that reminds him of her, including old birthday letters and a crumpled twenty-dollar bill. He admits that it hurts deeply to be without her and that he doesn't know how to move on.
The chorus repeats the line "I'm still holding on to everything that's dead and gone," showing how he is struggling to let go of the past and move forward. He also acknowledges that he doesn't want to say goodbye because he believes that this is forever. The sentiment is echoed in the lines "Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far/ Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers," which evoke a sense of distance created by death. Despite the sadness of the song, there is also a sense of hope in Boone's determination to continue holding on to the memories of his loved one.
Line by Line Meaning
Sunday mornings were your favorite
She loved starting her Sundays with a cheerful spirit
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road
We used to meet and travel to church together
You did your hair up like you were famous
She took the time to look her best for church
Even though it's only church where we were going
She didn't feel she needed a reason to look her best
Now Sunday mornings, I just sleep in
Ever since she's been gone, I can't feel the same joy for Sunday mornings
It's like I've buried my faith with you
I have lost my faith since she's been gone
I'm screaming at a God I don't know if I believe in
I am angry with God for taking her away, and I am not sure if I believe in Him anymore
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
I am lost without her and without my faith
Now you're in the stars and six feet's never felt so far
She is gone, and I feel like she is impossibly far away
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
I am trapped between the hope of heaven and the sorrow of grief
Oh, it hurts so hard for a million different reasons
Her loss is painful in countless ways
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces
She was the most important part of my life, and now I am left broken without her
Diggin' through your old birthday letters
I am looking through her things to feel close to her again
A crumbled twenty still in the box
I found a twenty dollar bill that she saved, and it serves as a reminder of her
I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it
I value the object more than the money itself because it was hers
Even if it's the last twenty that I've got
I would rather keep it as a connection to her, even if I have nothing left
I'm still holding (on), holding (on), holding on
I am desperately clinging to any part of her that I can find
I'm still, ooh, still holding on
I am at a loss for how to move on, so I hold onto anything that reminds me of her
Oh, it hurts so hard for a billion different reasons
There are countless reasons why her loss is painful
You took the best of my heart and left the rest in pieces
She was the most important part of my life, and now I am left broken without her

Dear Benson Boone,
I extend my deepest sympathies to you for the profound loss you've experienced. I am truly sorry for the pain you are going through. In sharing this message, I also want to express how your song has become a source of healing and solace for me. Each lyric resonates with my own emotions, providing an outlet for the immense grief
I've been carrying since the loss of my beloved big sister, my only sibling, to a devastating heart disease a year and a half ago.
She was 37 years old, she leaves a little one-year-old baby, her husband, my parents and me in immeasurable grief.
In the aftermath of her passing, I found myself adrift, losing not only my bearings but also my faith. The overwhelming sense of isolation became a constant companion, making it difficult to articulate the magnitude of my pain. However, your eloquent and poignant words have provided me with the ability to express the inexpressible. Through your magnificent lyrics, I have found a voice for my sorrow.
Reading the comments and realizing that others share similar sentiments has created a sense of community that has eased my loneliness. Simply put, your song has given me the comfort of knowing that I am not alone in my struggles. For this, I want to convey my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for creating music that speaks to the depths of our emotions and connects us in our shared experiences of loss and healing.
With sincere appreciation,
Love ♥

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
Diggin' through your old birthday letters
A crumpled 20 still in the box
I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it
Even if it's the last 20 that I've got, oh
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever
And now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers

I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), holdin' on (on)
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), holdin' on (on)
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), I'm still holdin' on (on)
I'm still, ooh, still holdin' on
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone (ooh)
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever (ooh)
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
