Júpiter
Katy McAllister Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your heart is the sun
and the leaves are your soul
blowing, blowing the clouds
wich are really just your dreams tonight

your eyes are the stars
and your hand is mars
holding, holding me up to fly
and I no longer have this great fear of hights, fear of hights

and jupiter has got nothin´on you
the universe does no justice to just what you do to me

it´s like breaking, but waking the inside of me
and the milkyway is but only a galaxy
shine through me like the moon
baby, jupiter has got nothin´
on you

so, maybe I´m lost
in this dark sky
I´m no longer dreaming of blue skys
I´m wrapped up in the night

It´s like violins playing
all around, bittersweet, twinkling, unreality
if I can´t find my way out
I don´t mind, I don´t mind

cause´jupiter has got nothin´on you
the universe does no justice to just what you do to me

it´s like breaking, but waking the inside of me
and the milkyway is but only a galaxy
shine through me like the moon
baby, jupiter has got nothin´
on you
(Oh)

lift me up high
let me be with the sky
gracefully rise
slow dancing on venus

I´ll know you´re mine, when I´m drifting ´round the rings of Saturn

Jupiter, Jupiter
the universe does no justice to just what you do to me

it´s like breaking, but waking the inside of me
and the milkyway is but only a galaxy
shine through me like the moon




baby, jupiter has got nothin´
on you
