If the Stars Shine Tonight
Starry Reflections on Life's Complexity
Lyrics
I admire that point of view
I appreciate that perspective
But nothing is that simple
Life is not as straightforward as it may seem
I couldn't live the way that you do
I couldn't live according to your moral standards
The opposite of sinful
Contrary to being sinful
But if the stars shine tonight
If the stars shine tonight
And chances are they might
There's a likelihood that they will
Then the night won't seem so blind
Then the night won't feel so dark
When you come to mind
Your presence will brighten my thoughts
You really are a vestal girl
You embody purity, like a vestal girl
So proper and so pious
Adhering to proper and pious behavior
What pleasure do you get girl
What satisfaction do you derive from denying us?
From those that you deny us?
Questioning the motives behind denial
She steps down from the bus
She disembarks from the bus
Like she gets into her bath
Similar to how she enters her bath
And how I wish I was
Expressing a desire to join her
Getting in with her
A wish to be with her intimately
You think you are immortal
Believing in one's immortality
That ash will not become you
Warning that arrogance may lead to downfall
But for anyone to survive you
To endure your presence, something must be done
There's something that I must do
An action is necessary for survival
But if the stars shine tonight
If the stars shine tonight
And chances are they might
There's a possibility of their illumination
Then the night won't seem so blind
The night won't be as obscure
Mind if I have some?
Asking for permission to share the experience
