Lyrics
Verse 1:
Opening of the song
I gotta say no
Expressing the need to decline something
to staying up all night,
Rejecting the idea of staying up all night
but I can’t help to spend my time
Despite the refusal, spending time thinking about someone's smile
for thinking ‘bout your smile
Reflection on the impact of a smile on thoughts
Baby, I know there’s small hope to meet you, but I can’t forget that tiresome look in your eyes
Acknowledging the difficulty of meeting someone, remembering their tired expression
Pre-chorus 1:
Introduction of the pre-chorus section
Though impossible, still I pray this song can help you anyway It’s impossible, still I beg
Expressing a desire for the song to have an impact despite being impossible
to comfort you in my head
Expressing a wish to comfort the person in thoughts
Chorus 1:
Introduction of the first chorus
I’ll meet you down the street, flowers on your clear path, don’t wake me up, no

Transition to the second verse
I get it, you don’t know
Acknowledging the person's lack of awareness of their significance
how much you mean to me,
Expressing the inability to physically connect
but I know I can’t touch your space
Acknowledging and accepting the person's boundaries
I understand your stance
Understanding the person's perspective
Baby, I close my thoughts and you’re right there with me by my side and bring back my light
Closing thoughts and the presence of the person in the imagination
Pre-chorus 2:
Introduction of the second pre-chorus
Though impossible, still I pray
Continued expression of hope through the song
you’ll hear this song ‘til the end
Expressing a wish for the person to hear the entire song
I’ll be honest, oh, I’m grateful you’re a shooting star in my head
Gratitude for the person's role as a metaphorical shooting star

Commitment to facing fate together
I’ll never let you worry,

we’re running as you lead, and don’t wake me from my
Imagery of running together with the person

It’s my dream and my turn to help you
