Music is a conversation between the singer and the listener, and to that end the fans are the foundation of everything I do.”

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Picture life before I knew you
It was alright, it was ok
I'll paint my life before I loved you
There were never pictures in the hallway
There were no fireworks
There was no grand allure
That only happened when you came through my door

CHORUS:
And oh now
Life feels more than amazing
In your eyes
It feels like I've been stargazing

Feels like I'm living in a movie
Like I'm Fred Astaire
Singin' in the rain
I see the fireworks
I feel the grand allure
It happens every time
That you walk through my door

CHORUS:
And oh now
Life feels more than amazing
In your eyes
It feels like I've been stargazing

There were no fireworks
There was no grand allure
That only happened when you came through my door

CHORUS:
And oh now
Life feels more than amazing
In your eyes
It feels like I've been stargazing

Looking in your eyes
I'm stargazing
I'm stargazing
Looking in your eyes

I'm stargazing
I'm stargazing
