Drops of Jupiter
DROPS OF JUPITER Lyrics

Now that she's back in that atmosphere
The person being referred to has returned and is now part of the world around us.

With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
There's something about this person which makes them special, symbolized by the drops of Jupiter in their hair.

She acts like summer and walks like rain
The person is vibrant and lively, bringing a sense of renewal and growth.

Reminds me that there is time to change, hey, hey
Being around this person makes the singer realize that there's always room to evolve and improve.

Since the return from her stay on the moon
The person has been away for a long time, going through an unusual experience or change.

She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
The person is in sync with the natural world, receptive to new ideas and has a lot to say.

Tell me did you sail across the sun
The singer is asking if this person has gone on an epic adventure, braving the dangers of space and time.

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
Did they travel far and see amazing things which are beyond our comprehension - like witnessing the end of a star?

And that heaven is overrated
The artist is questioning whether heaven is as great as it's made out to be.

But, tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
The person being asked if they've had an incredible experience of having fallen from a shooting star, but without having been damaged by the experience.

One without a permanent scar
The singer is asking if there was a traumatic event that caused permanent damage to the person if it was just a passing experience.

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
The artist is wondering if the person thought of them while they were having their incredible space adventure.

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Now that the person is back from their journey of self-discovery and their personal world, they're more in tune with themselves.

Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
The singer is suggesting that the person is on a journey, trying to find their way and what their place in the universe is.

She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
The person has a range of interests, from classical arts to modern fitness - suggesting they appreciate a variety of experiences.

Reminds me that there is room to grow, hey, hey
The person's perspective makes the artist realize they have so much potential to learn and improve.

I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
The artist worries that the person has surpassed them in their experiences and evolution and will see the artist as plain/simple.

Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
The singer is telling a story of someone too scared to take risks and try new things, ultimately not achieving their goals.

But, tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
The singer is asking if the person felt awe and wonder, perhaps even romantic feelings, while on their adventure.

Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
Did the person have the opportunity to really live and embrace life to the fullest?

And head back to the Milky Way
The artist suggests the person they're talking to should go back into an adventure in space, push limits, and gain new experiences.

And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
The artist is asking if they had their mind blown away completely, maybe a mesmerizing experience like seeing Venus in a way they never imagined.

Was it everything you wanted to find
Did the person achieve everything they hoped for in their journey, or did they find something unexpected?

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
The artist is asking if the person can imagine a world where there are no simple pleasures and the joys of life are taken away.

Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
The singer recognizes a nurturing and loyal relationship where people support each other despite flaws or errors.

Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The singer is asking the person if they can imagine a life without love or the first moments of falling in love, spontaneous late-night conversations on the phone, and fleeting romantic moments.

The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
The person shared simple but beautiful moments over coffee with the singer. The singer hopes they still value those simple pleasures and would be happy to catch up with them over a cup of coffee.

Tell me did you sail across the sun
The artist is repeating the question, asking again if the person went on a space voyage away from earth.

Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
The artist is repeating the question, confirming if they saw the galaxy's lights dimmed with their own eyes.

And that heaven is overrated
The singer reiterates that heaven, or rather the idea of a perfect place, is overhyped and not always what one expects it to be.

But, tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
The singer repeats the earlier question, asking again if they've had a life-changing adventure, but without scars.

One without a permanent scar
The person didn't experience any lasting grief or pain from their journey or experience as something more profound from not having a lasting effect.

And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
The artist repeats the earlier question, and is wondering if the person thought of the artist while out in the world, seeking self-discovery.
