Lyrics
There was a place we used to go
Reflecting on a past location they frequented.
There was a star we called our own
A metaphorical star representing something special and unique to them.
And it was bright, so bright
Emphasizing the brightness and significance of their shared experience.
There was hope inside our eyes
The presence of hope reflected in their eyes.
It put charm into our lives
How this hope added charm and positivity to their lives.
And we were free, so free
A sense of freedom they felt during that time.
I always felt that the more we had
Feeling burdened by possessing more, implying material or emotional possessions.
Was a burden on you and me.
Suggesting that an excess of possessions strained their relationship.
Happiness comes to those that can believe
Happiness is attainable for those who have faith.
That all the best things are free
Emphasizing that the most valuable things in life are not materialistic.
There was laughter in our words
Recalling the joyous moments marked by laughter.
Serious thoughts, they lay unsaid
Unspoken serious thoughts about their potential together.
Of what we could be
Contemplating their unrealized potential.
All we see has no surprise
Suggesting that nothing they observe surprises them anymore.
All of history in our eyes
The weight of history reflected in their shared experiences.
What have we learned?
Questioning what they have gained from their experiences.
I always felt that we were kept apart
Feeling kept apart due to the pursuit of assurances or guarantees.
By the chase for guarantees
Implying that the chase for certainty distanced them.
I always had the urge to let you be
A desire to let the other person be free, not constrained.
All the best things are free
Reiterating the value of intangible, priceless things in life.
Can't you see that once again
Highlighting a realization about fate's role in their lives once more.
Fate has played its hand
Expressing the desire to enjoy simple moments together.
Shoot the breeze with love as our command.
Metaphorically discussing spending time together effortlessly.
Time and tide they say wait for no one.
Stressing the importance of not wasting time.
Hope is when the best is still to come.
Optimism about the potential for better things in the future.
All the best things are free
Reiteration of the value of invaluable aspects of life.
Don't chase for guarantees
Advising against pursuing assured outcomes or guarantees.
Can't you see
A call to recognize the significance of intangible, priceless aspects of life.
That all the best things are free
A final emphasis on the immeasurable worth of certain things.
