New Mexico
Searching Skies: Love Across Borders
Lyrics
Standing in a car park
Contemplating in a car park
Somewhere in New Mexico
Location specified as New Mexico
Put 50 dollars on my phone
Placing $50 on the phone for a call
And try to call you at home
Attempting to reach someone at home
Staring up at a desert sky
Gazing at the desert sky
The stars are bright and the moon's so high
Noting the brightness of stars and a high moon
I'm thinking are we staring at the same stars
Wondering if both are looking at the same stars
Oh tell me are we staring at the same stars?
Seeking confirmation on shared celestial view
I'll cut down, I'll cut down a forest for you
Expressing willingness to make sacrifices
To build a boat, a boat to cross the sea
Desire to construct a boat for a journey
And through wind and through rain I would sail
Commitment to face challenges for connection
To be there to hold you if you'd hold me
Willingness to provide support and seek reciprocity
But all I really want to know
Expressing curiosity about partner's thoughts
Is whatever you're thinking of
Yearning to understand partner's innermost musings
And all I really want to hear
Desire to hear partner's words sincerely
Is whatever you've got to say
Longing for genuine communication
Are we staring at the same stars?
Reiteration of the question about shared stars
Are we staring at the same stars?
Repeating the query for emphasis
Are we staring at the same stars tonight?
Asking if they are gazing at the same stars tonight
Walking down on Broadway
Walking in the Broadway area
Looking for an open door
Searching for an open opportunity
For New York City never sleeps
Commenting on the perpetual activity of New York City
And I don't sleep much anymore
Experiencing sleeplessness
Looking out over Battery Park
Observing Battery Park and passing boats
The boats go by and I look to the sky
Looking up at the sky, pondering shared celestial views
I'm thinking are we staring at the same stars
Persisting curiosity about shared stars
Oh tell me are we staring at the same stars?
Seeking confirmation or denial of shared stargazing
I'll cut down, I'll cut down a forest for you
Reiterating the willingness to make sacrifices
To build a boat, a boat to cross the sea
Expressing the intention to build a vessel
And through wind and through rain I would sail
Commitment to face challenges for connection
To be there to hold you if you'd hold me
Reiteration of the desire for mutual support
But all I really want to know
Echoing the earlier curiosity about partner's thoughts
Is whatever you're thinking of
Reiterating the yearning to understand partner's musings
And all I really want to hear
Repeating the desire for sincere communication
Is whatever you've got to say
Reiterating the longing for genuine connection
Are we staring at the same stars?
Repeating the question about shared stars
Are we staring at the same stars?
Emphasizing the persistent curiosity about shared stars
Just give me a call
Requesting a call for clarity or connection
