Big Sky
Garrison Starr Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to see what you see
A special kind of beauty
You give yourself up so easily, when you see what you see

I want to hear what you hear
A harmony loud and clear
Custom made for your ear, when you hear what you hear
And from take-off to landing
All stretched out and calling
From take-off to landing, I realize
She's a big sky

If I could stand where you stand
Huddle as close as I can
I might get something secondhand, if I could stand where you stand

If I could hold what you hold
Forget the things I don't know
Easier said than done, though, until I hold what you hold

And from take-off to landing
All stretched out and calling
From take-off to landing, I realize
She's a big sky

We're in trouble now
We may have seen too much to ever come back down





From take-offâ?¦

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Garrison Starr's song Big Sky express the desire to see and experience the unique and beautiful perspective of someone else. The first verse expresses the longing to see what the other person sees, to experience that special kind of beauty that they perceive. The second verse expresses the desire to hear what the other person hears, to listen to their interpretation of the world, to understand the harmony that they perceive. The chorus references the vastness and expansiveness of the sky, using it as a metaphor for the other person's perspective. From take-off to landing, stretched out and calling, the realization dawns that the other person is a "big sky". The lyrics suggest that the other person's perspective is so vast and encompassing that it allows them to see and experience things that the listener cannot, and that this is both exhilarating and potentially problematic. The bridge suggests that the singer would like to experience what the other person is experiencing, to hold and understand what they hold and understand.


The lyrics of Big Sky resonate with a desire for connection and understanding, and they convey a sense of wonder and awe at the diversity of human experience. The metaphor of the big sky evokes a sense of expansiveness and unboundedness, while also suggesting a potential danger in seeing and experiencing too much. The repetition of the line "From take-off to landing, I realize she's a big sky" emphasizes the enormity and significance of the other person's perspective.
