Wishing Star
Yearning Under the Wishing Star
Lyrics
My window's a good place to start
Expressing that the speaker's window is a starting point for something.
If I'm honest I'm wishing for you
Honest admission of the speaker's wish for someone.
Out my window there's a star
Referring to a star outside the window, possibly symbolizing hope or a guiding force.
That'll lead me right where you are
The star is seen as a guide to finding the person the speaker wishes for.
Oh don't you tell me to give it all up
Resisting advice to give up on something important to the speaker.
I'm putting my faith in the stuff that I don't trust
Putting faith in uncertain things, indicating vulnerability.
All this is a lie and I know it
Admitting that what the speaker believes may be false.
But let me believe for the moment
Desiring to believe in something, even if temporarily.
In my room
Location setting, possibly a place of personal reflection or solitude.
Wishing for you
Reiterating the wish for the person in the context of the room.
I'm wishing for love in all the wrong places
Expressing a desire for love but acknowledging it might be sought in the wrong places.
I'm looking for you among other faces
Searching for the person among others, indicating a quest for a meaningful connection.
I want people who care
Expressing a need for people who genuinely care about the speaker.
I want someone to be there
Desiring someone to be there for support or companionship.
In my room
Repeating the wish for the person within the room setting.
Wishing for you
Continuing the expression of desire for the person within the room.
Oh if I'm honest I don't think I'm enough
Expressing self-doubt about being enough on one's own.
I need someone to come and sweep me up
Seeking someone to lift the speaker up, both emotionally and possibly physically.
Out my room
Referencing a location change, possibly a transition from the room.
To tell me what to do
Desiring guidance or direction from an external source.
I'll stare at the sky and keep you on my mind
Stating the intention to keep the person in mind while gazing at the sky.
Or anyone else who would be so obliged
Expressing openness to the presence of others who may be willing to help.
Save me from my own sense of time
Requesting salvation from the speaker's perception of time.
I've given up on the typical way to feel fine
Rejecting conventional methods of feeling fine or content.
Out my window there's a star
Repetition of the reference to the star outside the window.
That'll lead me right where you are
Reiterating that the star will lead the speaker to the desired person.
