Oh, my star girl
Expressing affection towards the person addressed as "star girl."
Come back to me
Requesting the "star girl" to return.
Can't you see?
Expressing a desire for the "star girl" to understand the plea.
They say tomorrow isn't promised
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the future.
I kind of hope that it's true
Expressing a tentative desire for the uncertainty to be true.
'Cause babe, this ain't the life I wanted
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current life without the "star girl."
If it isn't with you
Stating a preference for a life with the "star girl."
And I'm sailing alone
Describing a solitary journey or struggle.
Barely staying afloat
Struggling and barely managing to stay afloat in life.
Trying to find the way back to you
Expressing a desire to reunite with the "star girl."
And I hope that you know
Expressing hope that the "star girl" understands the necessity of the separation.
That I didn't wanna have to leave you alone
Regret about leaving the "star girl" alone.
Won't you come home?

Can't you see?

I'm not the one to cloud the sky
Denying responsibility for causing trouble or sadness.
Hope that I see you tonight
Expressing hope to see the "star girl" again tonight.
No matter what you think about us
Acknowledging differing opinions about the relationship.
I didn't know that I was in love
Realization of being in love despite previous unawareness.
Come back down to Earth
Inviting the "star girl" to return to reality.
Promise I won't hurt you again
Promising not to cause harm again.
Oh, come back down
Reiterating the plea for the "star girl" to return.
I promise I won't hurt you again

Now, what will it take for my girl to come home?
Pondering the requirements for the "star girl" to come back.
She's in the sky, always dancing alone
Describing the "star girl" dancing alone in the sky.
And I'm feeling so small
Feeling overwhelmed by the vastness and beauty of the universe.
By the beauty of it all
Expressing awe at the beauty of the universe.
I used to think the killer was time
Previous belief that time is the enemy.
But really, it's how fast it goes by
Realization that the real challenge is the speed of time passing.
Earth boy, Earth boy, take your cover

There will never be another

I'll be fine wherever she is
