Stare Out Your Window
Boston Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's downright into herself, it's so untrue
She's dolled right in so well, this can't be you
So come down, so come see
You don't want to wake and believe
You don't know, you don't dream
But somehow you make me so dizzy

I want to stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in
I want to stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in

She's calling out to her friend, just give me two
(You don't want to let me in)
She words right under her breath, they don't want you
So come down, so come please
You don't want to make me believe
You don't know, do not tease
But somehow you make me so free

I want to stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in
I want to stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in

So come down, so come please
You don't want to make me believe
You don't know, do not tease
But somehow you make me so free

I want to stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in
I want to stare out your window
You don't want to let me in
Let me in

I want to stare out your window
Let me in
I want to stare out your window
Let me in




I want to stare out your window
Let me in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boston's "Stare Out Your Window" is about the singer's desire to get close to someone who is deeply involved with herself. The first lines of the song already set the tone, describing the person in question as someone who is too self-centered to be true. The singer wants to get closer to this person, the same way he wants to look closer at what she is looking at through her window. The person in question seems uninterested in letting the singer in, but the singer remains persistent.


As the song progresses, the singer's desire to connect with the person intensifies. "She's calling out to her friend, just give me two," is a plea for attention from someone who doesn't seem to have time for anyone outside of herself. The singer can sense this, but still wants to break through the barrier. He wants to be let in and be part of whatever the person is experiencing. Perhaps because he sees something in her that she can't see herself.


Despite the person's reluctance to let him in, the singer persists. "Somehow you make me so dizzy/free" could be seen as a reference to how the person's self-centeredness makes the singer feel trapped, but also exhilarated. He wants a piece of her world, but she remains uninterested.


Overall, the lyrics of "Stare Out Your Window" expresses a desire to connect with someone who is too involved with herself to be open to anyone else. The singer's want to look out her window is a metaphor for wanting to see what she sees, to be part of her world. It's a common sentiment to want to be part of something that seems unattainable, and Boston captures it perfectly in this song.

Why does everyone think this album was so bad? I mean it's not their best but it's still good!!

Paul Cavigliano

Idk. This song is pretty fuckin good tho, and I a big fan of the older stuff. This doesn't nothing like old Boston

Josh R.

banana

@Matheus Faria Agreed. Besides, any GOOD band's sound evolves or changes over time

Alan Boas

I think it's a good album too. It still sounds like Boston to me so why is it so bad? Because it's not.

Zach Fair

@Animal Expert that’s a straight fact, the last album was an atrocity and should never have been released. At least this one had a few decent songs

Great bands have more than one sound and they express themselves in different ways.

I can’t believe I never heard this album. I want it. I have been to many Boston concerts and loved them all. This is making me feel like I’m in my 20’ again.
