Stars & Lovers
Matt Cardle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The stars would fall and time would stop
If I could reach a little higher
If Jupiter was close enough, ohh
I lost my place, I found the answer
I heard it on, the radio
If I return and take my chances
My heart is open and the skies on fire
I hear the drum and, I hear the choir
The universe it was made for us and
Oh oh, the stars and the lovers
A universe, made for us and
Oh oh, the stars and the lovers
So let go, hold onto each other
If I could run a million hours
And hold the oceans, in my hands
If I could have one superpower
It would be to make you understand
My heart is open and the skies on fire
I hear the drum and, I hear the choir
The universe it was made for us and
Oh oh, the stars and the lovers
A universe, made for us and
Oh oh, the stars and the lovers
So let go, hold onto each other
I lost my place, I found the answer

The universe it was made for us and
Oh oh, the stars and the lovers
A universe, made for us and
Oh oh, the stars and the lovers
So let go, hold onto each other
So let go, hold onto each other

If all the tears could drown a fire
If someone could cry so much that it could put out a fire
The stars would fall and time would stop
It would be a catastrophic event
If I could reach a little higher
If he had a little bit more power
If Jupiter was close enough, ohh
If he had more control over the universe
I lost my place, I found the answer
He was lost, but then he found the answer
I heard it on, the radio
When he found the answer, he heard it on the radio
If I return and take my chances
If he were to go back and try again
If only I could let her know
If only he could communicate his feelings to her
My heart is open and the skies on fire
His heart is full of passion
I hear the drum and, I hear the choir
He hears music that reflects his feelings
The universe it was made for us and
The universe exists for their love
Oh oh, the stars and the lovers
The stars and their love are interconnected
A universe, made for us and
The universe is crafted for them to be together
So let go, hold onto each other
They should let go of their problems and hold onto each other instead
If I could run a million hours
If he could run forever
And hold the oceans, in my hands
If he could control the vastness of the oceans
If I could have one superpower
If there was one superpower he could have
It would be to make you understand
He would use his power to make his love understand
