ジェイソン自身が人間関係に悩み、自殺を考えていたときに生み出したナンバー。

When I look into your eyes
It’s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there’s so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you’ve come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up

And when you’re needing your space
To do some navigating
I’ll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

‘Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We’ve got a lot to learn
God knows we’re worth it
No, I won’t give up

I don’t wanna be someone
who walks away so easily
I’m here to stay
and make the difference
that I can make

Our differences they do
a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got,
yeah,
we got a lot at stake

And in the end,
you’re still my friend
at least we did intend
For us to work we didn’t break,
we didn’t burn
We had to learn how to bend
without the world caving in

I had to learn
what I’ve got,
and what I’m not,
and who I am

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up,
still looking up.

Well, I won’t give up on us
(no I’m not giving up)
God knows I’m tough enough
(I am tough, I am loved)
We’ve got a lot to learn
(we’re alive, we are loved)
God knows we’re worth it
(and we’re worth it)

I won’t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I’m giving you all my love
I’m still looking up
