Sara
Jefferson Airplane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good to go back in time

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

('Cause Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
(And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore

I'll never find another girl like you, no
We're fire and ice, and a dream

Sara
Sara, Sara no time is a good time, oh

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, for good bye's
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara no time like the first time
Sara, Sara
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart




Sara, Sara (uh Sara)
Sara

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jefferson Starship's "Sara" express the pain of letting go of a relationship that has reached its end. The first verse urges the listener to move forward and not look back, explaining that the past cannot be changed. The singer acknowledges that they will not find another person like their former partner, but also accepts that the relationship was not meant to be. The chorus talks about the brewing storms in Sara's eyes, signifying the emotional turmoil both partners are experiencing. The second verse highlights the danger involved in playing an emotional game when the stakes are high, and the singer's heart has been branded by their experiences.


The chorus repeats, emphasizing that there is no good time for goodbyes, and Sara was a unique love who hurt the singer like no one before. The bridge changes the tone slightly, referencing the first time the pair met and how special it was. The song ends with the singer questioning why their relationship fell apart and repeating Sara's name.


Line by Line Meaning

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
It's time to move on and not dwell in the past


Move on, it's no good to go back in time
The past cannot be changed and there's no point in trying to do so


I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
You were unique and irreplaceable, and true happiness requires a mutual effort


We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Our personalities clashed and our love couldn't survive


Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
You're going through a difficult time and emotions are taking over


Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Saying goodbye is never easy, and it's hard to find the right moment to do so


Danger in the game when the stakes are high
When there's a lot at stake, things can get risky and unpredictable


Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
You left an everlasting mark on my heart despite my reluctance to admit it


('Cause Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
Your love was unique and I doubt I'll ever feel it again


(And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
Your departure caused me immense pain and suffering beyond measure


(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore
After you left, I felt unloved and abandoned


We're fire and ice, and a dream
Our love was both passionate and volatile, and ultimately it remained just a dream


Sara, Sara no time is a good time, oh
It's hard to find the right time to say goodbye and move on


Sara, Sara no time like the first time
The beginning of our love story was a special moment that can't be replicated


Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart
The end of our relationship was painful and leaves unanswered questions


Sara, Sara (uh Sara)
Your name still echoes in my mind and heart even though you're gone

@@kellyb1597 Lol! Funny you say that, girl. I work in a footwear store. A couple weeks back a young woman visited our store that was mentally challenged, but completely in the moment.

She immediately asked my name. I told her Ted, and I asked her name. He friend said she never asks for anyone's name. Her name is Sarah. 😃

I said, "nice to meet you Sarah. One of my favorite songs ever is by a group named Jefferson Starship. It's called "Sarah", and I asked, "did they name that song after you"? 🤣

She blushed and said, "noooo". I told her, "I don't know, girl. The song is all about a special girl. I think they named it after you".

She beamed all the way out of the door. They're both about 21. Surprisingly, neither of them know who Jefferson is, much less have ever heard the song. But her friend assured her they'd listen to it the minute they hit the car.

I bet you when she heard it, she wished it was written in honor of her. 😉
