I'll write you name in...

This is an excerpt from Alexz Johnson' song Pick Up The Pieces:

[Chorus]
Nobody ever cared as much for me (as much for me)
Nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain
You've picked the pieces and put me back together

I'll write you name in
Stars across the sky (Capital letters have always confused me in lyrics.
Does the sentence continue? And does it mean to she loves someone
so much she would use the stars to form his name?) (stars across the sky)
We'll drift away in
To eachothers eyes They'll always be apart?
Hey ya (Hey ya) Hoy ya ya ya yaya, oh ya ya

The first letter of a line is capitalized. Beyond that, the poet/lyricist has a lot of latitude. I don't see a whole lot of periods here.
