  • JwIt is for his girlfriend that died in New York right after the dinner, where he proposed. They were jumped by thugs and she was shot or stabbed (not sure).
  • Heather from Brown City, MiIt's not about his brother. It's about his girlfriend or fiancé who died.
  • Daniel from Lake Mills, Iawhen i listen to this song i think it means like no matter how bad you mess up the person that loves you the most here or not will be there to hold you.. tho some bad things happen and we dont know why we can look up and always know they are there for them
  • Mark from Ithica, NyThis is written about the lead singers fiance who died in 9/11 on their wedding day. The song is dedicated to her.
  • Knowlet Mownick from New York City, Nyi agree w/ u below me. by the way i love this song.
  • Kelly from Terryville, CtThis song is about the lead singers brother dying and how he misses him and when he gets sad he looks up to heaven and knows his brother is up there and he wouldnt want him to be sad about his death; and also looking back on memories that they had when they where children.
    It's a very touching song, and many people mistake it for a song about missing someone like relationship wise, i guess you can look at it that way but its not the meaning fm staic had.
    I love this song.
  • Morgan from Huntsville, AlThis is about death taking the one you love. He's saying that the stars hold her, so she must have went to heaven, he beleives. She is the one who converted him to christianity, and he is very grateful to her. But she was also his love.
