We can live in the empty spaces of this life

Suggesting a possibility of finding meaning or fulfillment in life's vacant moments.

My baby says

Far away the stars are coming all undone

Describing a distant place where celestial bodies seem chaotic or disordered.

My baby says

Repeating the baby's statements, emphasizing a certain distance.

My baby says, But that's far away

Acknowledging the distance mentioned by the baby and highlighting youthfulness.

And we're young

Stating the speaker's youth as a contextual factor.

My baby says

Reaffirming the baby's confidence and readiness to confront challenges.

And if the devil comes we'll shoot him with a gun

My baby says

Recalling the idea of finding meaning in life's voids, echoing line #2.

We can live in the empty spaces of this life

My baby says

Restating the baby's perspective on life.

In the desert sands

Our hearts are brighter than the sun

My baby says

Repeating the determination to confront challenges symbolized by the devil.

When the devil comes we'll shoot him with a gun
