Star
Starry Desires: Yearning for Recognition in the Dark
Lyrics
You ring me up and you bring me down.
You contact me and influence my emotions negatively.
I never know if you'll come around.
I'm uncertain if you'll be present or involved.
I like the salty taste in my mouth.
I enjoy the taste of salt in my mouth.
Ten minutes on the lips, ten days without.
A brief pleasure can lead to a prolonged absence of satisfaction.
If I were a star,
Contemplating a hypothetical scenario where the speaker is a star.
Would you look at me when you're lying there in the dark?
Questioning if the person would notice and appreciate the speaker's presence in darkness.
If I called on you from far away,
Considering reaching out from a distant place.
Would you say the things I want you to say?
Wondering if the person would respond as desired.
What would you say if I shined at night?
Asking for a reaction if the speaker possessed a shining quality at night.
If everyone wanted a piece of my light?
Exploring the idea of others desiring a part of the speaker's 'light.'
Would you say the name?
Questioning if the person would acknowledge the speaker's identity.
Would you finally be the guy who can't get enough of me?
Asking if the person would become infatuated with the speaker.
If I were a star,
Reiterating the hypothetical situation of being a star.
Would you think of me when you're lying there in the dark?
Questioning if the person would think of the speaker in the dark.
If I called on you from far away,
Revisiting the idea of reaching out from a distance.
Would you say the things I want you to say?
Wondering if the person would express the desired sentiments.
Just think of what I could be and not what I am.
Suggesting to focus on the potential rather than the current state.
The envy of every woman, the dream of every man.
Describing the speaker as an object of envy and desire.
If I were a star,
Returning to the hypothetical scenario of being a star.
Would you look at me when we're lying there in the dark?
Questioning if the person would notice the speaker in darkness.
If I called on you from far away,
Repeating the idea of reaching out from a distance.
Would you say the things I want you to say?
Reiterating the desire for the person to express specific sentiments.
