Hey Mr. Star Man
Lola Mercer Lyrics

Hey mr. star man
Addressing the star man, asking him why he's leaving

Why are you leaving
Inquiring the reason behind star man's departure

It's not morning but soon it will be
Highlighting the time of day and expressing urgency for star man to stay until sunrise

Please don't go yet cuz I'm not ready to be alone
Asking star man to delay his departure because the singer doesn't want to be alone

Hey will you tell your friend to come visit again
Requesting star man to bring his friend back since the singer doesn't like being alone

Cuz I don't like to be alone at night with my thoughts
Expressing dislike for being alone with one's own thoughts, especially at night

It gets kinda dark and I can't stand it
Suggesting the presence of fear associated with the darkness of the night

Hey mrs moonlight
Addressing the moonlight and asking why it's sleeping when it's daytime

Why are you sleeping just cuz it's daytime doesn't mean you have to go
Questioning why the moonlight disappears during the day and reminding it that it doesn't have to

Tell your old friend mr star man to not leave me alone
Asking the moonlight to convey a message to star man to not leave the singer alone

Cuz I'm getting really tired and I'm getting really scared
Expressing fatigue and fear due to a lack of companionship

And I think I'm losing my mind
Indicating a possibility of going insane due to loneliness

I'm starting to see things, wishing my walls were thick, eyelids getting heavy and I think I'm on the brink
Describing the singer's deteriorating mental state by confessing to hallucinating, wanting thick walls, and being on the verge of breaking down

You can say these things happen but they're really not that common
Acknowledging unusual occurrences while also trying to downplay their severity

Seeing things is normal but when they start to happen often
Admitting that seeing things isn't entirely abnormal, but often experiencing them is alarming

Should I be afraid or will I be okay
Asking for guidance on how to react to the situation

I really need some answers cuz it's getting kinda strange
Expressing confusion and uncertainty regarding the circumstances

I've got a massive headache that I can't deal with
Informing of a headache that's too severe to handle

Oh you say to take some medicine that sounds like a good idea
Acknowledging that taking medicine could be a solution offered by somebody else

But wait what should I do when it starts again
Inquiring about what to do if the problem continues to occur in the future

Come keep me company with your jokes and my laughter
Inviting star man to provide company and humor, thus amusing the singer and evoking laughter

Chase my dark thoughts away
Asking star man to aid in pushing away depressing or negative emotions

And tell me it's sadness that you're after
Requesting star man to acknowledge the presence of sadness

Bring me your stars in a jar that you got from oh so far away
Asking for stars in a jar and emphasizing their distance

Let me keep them and sing me to sleep
Requesting the stars and using them to help fall asleep

And please tell me I'm okay
Pleading to be informed that everything will be fine

Hey mr star man am I going to be alright
Asking if everything will be okay, with emphasis on being reassured by star man

After you're done singing my song
Expecting star man to continue keeping singer company even after the song is over

Will you stay for the night
Asking star man to stay for the entire night

So I don't have to be alone or stay up all night on my phone
Expressing desire for companionship so that the singer doesn't have to be alone or resort to using their phone all night

Cuz you are my home
Stressing the importance of star man's companionship as it is akin to feeling at home
