Seeing Stars
BØRNS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw her walking on the side of the road, on the sidewalk chalk from my balcony window
First sight she made me look twice, cause I never seen someone walk as light as the wind blows
I called out to try and get your name, quickly wrote a love letter turned it into and airplane
You looked up and that was enough cause you let out other butterflies I couldn't begin to tell you

Some dreams never do come true
Some love doesn't hit the target
I've been wishing about you
Darling I've been wishing my hardest

You've got me seeing stars, brighter than ever
Shining just like diamonds do
I know that in time it could be all ours, brighter than ever
Our love is such a dream come true
I know, I know, I know I need you
I know, I know, I know I need you

There's a love I've been keeping aside
And you're the missing puzzle piece I've been trying to find
Hey girl you got me learning to fly
Got me higher than a kite and I've been painting the sky

Some dreams never do come true
Some love doesn't hit the target
But my dreams are reality now, and you're the one I've been dreaming about

You've got me seeing stars brighter than ever
Shining just like diamonds do
I know that in time it could be all ours, brighter than ever
Our love is such a dream come true
I know, I know, I know I need you
I know, I know, I know I need you

Baby don't let go
You got me, you got me
Baby baby don't let go
You got me, you got me, you got me

You've got me seeing stars brighter than ever
Shining just like diamonds do
I know that in time it could be all ours, brighter than ever
Our love is such a dream come true
I know, I know, I know I need you
I know, I know, I know I need you




I know, I know, I know I need you
I know, I know, I know I need you

Overall Meaning

Børns's song Seeing Stars describes the story of falling deeply in love after meeting someone unexpectedly. The lyrics recount the moment when the singer saw the girl walking on the side of the road and was immediately struck by her beauty. He proceeded to write a love letter and folded it into an airplane, sending it her way. The girl looked up and caught the paper airplane, which made her heart skip a beat. The song goes on to describe the euphoria that the singer experiences as a result of his newfound love. He feels like he is finally complete and that everything is possible with this person by his side. The lyrics emphasize the power of love to make even the most unlikely dreams come true.


One particularly interesting aspect of Seeing Stars is that it was written by Børns while he was in a blissful state of mind, having just fallen in love himself. The song is said to have been inspired by a woman he met and fell for in Los Angeles. Another intriguing fact is that the song was produced by Tommy English, who has collaborated with other critically acclaimed musicians like Kacey Musgraves, Fickle Friends, and Adam Lambert. Additionally, the music video for Seeing Stars features a surrealistic dream sequence in which Børns and his love interest fly through the sky on an enchanted bed.
