Waiting For A Star To Fall
Boys And Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a sound that makes me cry
I hear a song blow again and again
Through my mind and I don't know why
I wish I didn't feel so strong about you
Like happiness and love revolve around you
Trying to catch your heart
So many people love you baby
That must be what you are
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
I've learned to feel what I cannot see
But with you I lose that vision
I don't know how to dream your dream
So I'm all caught up in superstition
I want to reach out and pull you to me
Who says I should let a wild one go free?
Trying to catch your heart
Is like trying to catch a star
But I can't love you this much baby
And love you from this far
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
Waiting (however long)
I don't like waiting (I'll wait for you)
It's so hard waiting (don't be too long)
Seems like waiting (makes me love you even more)
Waiting for a star to fall
And carry your heart into my arms
That's where you belong
In my arms baby, yeah
The song "Waiting For A Star To Fall" by Boys And Girls talks about a person who is deeply in love with someone who they believe is out of their reach. Their love for this person is so strong that they hear their name whispered on the wind and feel as though happiness and love revolve around them. However, they also feel like they are chasing something unreachable, as trying to catch their heart is like trying to catch a star.
The lyrics also touch on the person's struggle with this unrequited love. They feel as though they have lost their vision and cannot see the future without this person. They are caught up in superstition and want to pull the person closer to them, but at the same time, they are hesitant to let them go free. The chorus repeats the phrase "waiting for a star to fall," which can be interpreted as waiting for a miraculous event to bring this person into their arms.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of being deeply in love with someone who is seemingly unattainable. It's a bittersweet ballad that touches on the joy and pain of love.
