Discover the story of the song > Lost Stars – Adam Levine

The protagonist is asking someone to see him beyond his dreams and to hold his hand and see where they wake up tomorrow. He questions why youth is wasted on the young and why it seems like everyone is lost and searching for meaning, but he doesn't want their best memories to bring them sorrow. He wonders if they are all just lost stars trying to light up the dark and mentions hearing someone crying and calling his name.
