    General Comment:This is the most played song on my iPod. Came across it for the girl I love is called Casey.
    And I was blown away with how perfectly it described how I felt.
    About her. About love. About everything.


    I never stop wondering what he is saying in the section near the end. Does anyone know?
    He's probably just making sounds, not actual words...

    But I keep hearing 'finding my heart' for some reason. <3

    General Comment:i think the song is just, about laying your heart on the line for someone else. I think there's the level of unsure-ity in it, that you're not sure how the other person feels. So, when they have all that power, with your heart "in (their) hands" it's almost like you're asking for your heart to be broken.

    General Comment:I think it'd be a stretch to say it's about virginity.


    But. I do like that there are so few words and such strong meaning.
    I'm sure it's been said, but I'll reiterate. To me, it means being
    in a serious relationship when they both rely on each other to either
    make or break their lives. It's pretty powerful.

    My Opinion:ehh guys i think this song is about sex. i know how that sounds but if you really think about it,

    With you on my mind
    And my heart held in your hands
    Screaming
    Break me

    people say sex is a sin whjen before marrage so in my opinion Dallas is saying my pure heart (virginity) is held in your hands, and its screaming break me (change it)

    thats just my opinion though you guys believe what you think :P

    General Comment:Ya, Casey Baker (formerly of Sleeper Set Sail, currently of Casey Baker and the Buffalo Sinners) wrote this song. He couldn't sing it, so Dallas did and named it after him. I love when Dallas introduced this song once, he said something like "This song is about Mr. Baker." They're like bff's lol.

    ps: Check out Casey Baker and the Buffalo Sinners if you like Dallas!

    General Comment:I love this song.
    I heard somewhere that "Casey" is actually the name of his guitar. Which makes sense cause this song has a incredible guitar tune/riff. So thats where the "Casey's Song" comes in. As for the meaning, star up in the sky is spot on.
