Discover the story of the song > Stars – Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

The protagonist met a woman at a bar and they danced, but he was hesitant at first. They went home together and he couldn't stop thinking about her afterwards. He found a picture in his drawer from a past life but decided to move on from it. The protagonist and his partner have been through tough times but have stuck together, and he compares their love to falling stars that have left holes in his roof. The song ends with the idea that life without his partner is like a world without color.
