All My Stars Aligned

(album: Marry Me - 2007)

I read the signs, I got all my stars aligned
My amulets, my charms, I set all my false alarms
So I'll be someone who won't be forgotten
I've got a question and you've got the answer

I'll do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here, you know it's real

I check my palms, the cracks in the sidewalk
My visions and my dreams, I cross all my fingers
That you'll be someone, who won't be forgotten
What was your question? I've got the answer

I'll do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here, you know it's real

There are no signs and there are no stars aligned
No amulets, not a charm to bring you back to my arms
There's just this human heart
That's built with this human flaw
What was your question? Love is the answer

I'll do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here, you know it's real
