On My Star
Dreaming of Infinity: On My Star by KT Tunstall
Lyrics
If it happened
If a certain event occurred
And our feet fell away
Our familiar surroundings disappeared beneath our feet
From familiarity and found their way out there
We ventured into the unknown
If we could choose how it went down that day
If we had control over the way things unfolded that day
We could hand-pick a heaven
We could carefully select a perfect paradise
Right here
That paradise would be right here
I wouldn't need a suitcase
No need for a suitcase
Just palms outstretched and fingers spread and I
Open-handed and ready, embracing the experience
Wouldn't loot the Palace
Not stealing from grandeur
Just take what's in my heart and head
Taking only what's in the heart and mind
And you, you, you, you, you
Repetition for emphasis, possibly directed at a specific person
I want you honey
Expressing a desire for someone
And I need you where you are
Need for the person to be present
I want you on my star
Desire for the person to be part of a special place or moment ("star")
And we won't need money
Emphasizing that material wealth is unnecessary
Where we're going it's too far
The destination is distant and beyond the need for money
I want you on my star
Reiteration of the desire for the person in the special place
So say it happened
Hypothetically bidding farewell to home
And we bid farewell to our home
Watching the familiar landscape recede like a memory
And watched the coastline retreat like a memory
In times of uncertainty
In any doubt
Commitment to hold onto the partner's hand
I would take hold of your hand
Jointly dreaming about future plans
And together we'd dream of our
Looking into the vast darkness filled with stars and endless possibilities
Future plans
Envisioning a shared future
Look into the darkness
Contemplating the beauty of the unknown
All full of stars and endlessness
Endless possibilities and magic
And cast a spell upon it
Creating our own reality
For that's the way we make it ours
The way we shape and personalize our journey
It's true, true, true
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing truth
Oh I want you honey
Reiteration of the desire for the person
And I need you where you are
Reinforcement of the need for the person's presence
I want you on my star
Desire for the person to share a special place or moment ("star")
And we won't need money
Emphasizing that material wealth is unnecessary
Where we're going it's too far
Highlighting the distance of the destination and the insignificance of money
I want you on my star
Reiteration of the desire for the person in the special place
Oh I want you honey
Expressing a continued desire for the person
And I need you where you are
Reiterating the need for the person's presence
I want you on my star
Desire for the person to be part of a special place or moment ("star")
And we won't need money
Emphasizing that material wealth is unnecessary
Where we're going it's too far
The destination is distant and beyond the need for money
I want you on my star
Reiteration of the desire for the person in the special place
On my star
The desired place or moment, symbolized by "star"
