Big Star
Lorde Lyrics

Everyone knows that you're too good for me, don't they?
I am aware that you are out of my league and I don't deserve you, and it seems like everyone else is aware of it too.

I'm a cheater, I lie and I'm shy
I have flaws and insecurities that prevent me from being the best version of myself.

But you like to say hello to total strangers
You have a warm and friendly personality, and you enjoy making connections with people.

Shivering pines and walls of color
I am appreciating the beauty of nature around me, particularly the trees and colors of the scenery.

I can't believe I used to stay inside
I used to be content with staying indoors and missing out on all the wonderful experiences outside, but now I regret it.

But every perfect summer's got to say goodnight
All good things must come to an end, even the most perfect of summers.

Now I watch you run through the amber light
I see you moving forward in life, chasing your dreams and making progress.

I used to love the party, now I'm not alright
I used to enjoy partying and having a good time, but now that lifestyle doesn't seem to be fulfilling or healthy for me.

Drinking in the dark, take me home tonight
I am struggling with alcohol and seeking comfort in someone to take me home and care for me.

Baby, you're a big star
I see you as someone who is destined for greatness and has the potential for enormous success.

Want to take your picture
I want to capture this moment in time, to remember how you looked and how I felt.

I toss up if it's worth it now, every time I get on a plane
I question whether the effort I put into this relationship is worth it, and if it will ultimately lead to happiness or disappointment.

I've got so much to tell you and not enough time to do it in
There are so many things I want to share with you, but it feels like time is slipping away too quickly.

But every perfect summer's gotta take its flight
Even though it's sad to see summer end, it's a natural part of life and we must accept it.

I'll still watch you run through the winter light
Even in the cold and dark times, I will still support you and be grateful for the light you bring into my life.

Hope the honeybees make it home tonight
I hold onto the hope that nature will continue to thrive and that all living things, such as bees, will make it through each day safely.

Til I die, Til I die, Til I die
I will always cherish you, keep you in my memories, and love you until the end of my life.
