Falling Star
Wishing on a Falling Star: Love Lost and Longing in Melodic Harmony
Lyrics
Never thought this would come to be
Expressing surprise or disbelief about the current situation.
Cuz I took you for granted girl
Admitting to taking the partner for granted in the past.
But you said that you trusted me
Acknowledging the partner's trust and how it was affected.
Never thought it would change my world
Reflecting on how the unexpected events have changed the speaker's world.
Cold night and it felt so wrong, but you kissed me and we made it right
Describing a conflicting emotional experience on a cold night that turned positive through a kiss.
Dream’s over now and you’re gone… so I’m wishing on a fallin’ star
Expressing a sense of loss and longing after a dream has ended, resorting to wishing on a falling star.
Wishin’ on a fallin’ star
Reiterating the act of wishing on a falling star for something desired.
We both thought it was a one night stand
Recalling a shared perception that a romantic encounter was a one-time occurrence.
This thing we have caught us off guard
Acknowledging the unexpected nature of the relationship and how it surprised both parties.
Used to laugh at romantic films
Admitting a previous indifference to romantic films but now being part of a romantic story.
But this time we were the leading stars
Recognizing themselves as the main characters in their own romantic story.
How I wished it would never end, but I had to face real life
Expressing a desire for the romantic experience to last forever, but facing the reality of separation.
And realize you don’t belong to me… so I’m wishing on a fallin’ star
Acknowledging the realization that the partner does not belong to the speaker, prompting a wish on a falling star.
But something says you’re meant for me the way we touch it’s on our skin
Suggesting a feeling that the partner is meant to be with the speaker, emphasizing the intimacy between them.
I’d never had this thing before now you’re out of reach and I crave for more
Expressing a newfound desire for something that was taken for granted before, with a sense of yearning.
The perfect girl, the perfect place but my time was wrong I was too late
Reflecting on missed opportunities and regret for not acting at the right time.
And now I long for one last kiss … so I’m wishin’, oh I’m wishing on a fallin’ star
Expressing a longing for a final connection through a kiss and resorting to wishing on a falling star.
Well I’m willing to do all it takes
Declaring a willingness to make any effort necessary for the relationship to work.
But you’ve got to want to be with me
Emphasizing the importance of mutual desire for the relationship to succeed.
Meanwhile I’m wishin’
Reiterating the act of wishing on a falling star while waiting for the partner's decision.
I’m wishin’ on a fallin’ star
Continuing the expression of hope and desire through wishing on a falling star.
