Lyrics
Do you have to show up on every corner
Questioning the necessity of being present everywhere.
Won't the dancin' begin without you
Suggesting that events will proceed without one's participation.
Do you have to put on your eyes for me
Asking if artificial enhancements are required for acceptance.
Be still I love you
Encouraging calmness and expressing love.
Now be still
Reiterating the need for stillness and calm.
We walked through space in the twilight hours
Describing a shared journey through space during twilight.
But did you really see the starset
Questioning the genuine observation of celestial phenomena.
In your restless eyes I found the city lights
Discovering urban lights in the partner's unsettled gaze.
Be still I love you
Repeating the plea for stillness and professing love.
Now be still
Reemphasizing the importance of being calm.
Be still I love you
Repeated expressions of love and the desire for stillness.
Be still I love you
-Be still I love you
-I still love you now be still
Affirming continued love and urging stillness.
I know the child that I am has hurt you
Acknowledging past mistakes and the pain caused as a child.
And I was a woman when I made you cry
Reflecting on the transition to womanhood and regretting causing tears.
But a little boy wants to dry your tears
Expressing a childlike desire to comfort and apologize.
Be still I love you
Repeating the plea for stillness and expressing love.
Come on now
An encouraging prompt to be calm.
Be still I love you
Reiterating love and the need for stillness.
Be still I love you
-Be still I love you
-I still love you now be still
-I still love you
Encouraging stillness with a continued declaration of love.
Come on now be still
