Galaxy
Paperwhite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can we even try
Grab my hand it's so steady
We are leaving here tonight
All at once, we found each other
Piece by piece, we built another world
Out of something small
Two and two, we both unite
It's ours
Take me far away
To our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
Now we wait for darkness
My eyes fixed on the door
Time moves slower than ever
But my heart can't be ignored
All at once, we found each other
Piece by piece, we built another world
Out of something small
One by one, the stars collided
Two and two, we both unite
It's ours
Take me far away
To our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
Stay here a minute longer
I see the sky is calling
We'll start racing toward the sun
Don't say it's now or never
I think we found forever
We'll start racing toward the sun
And our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
Come, come, come away with me
Come, come, come away with me
Come, come, come away with me
To our galaxy
The lyrics to Paperwhite's song Galaxy speak of a journey between two people who have found each other, and are ready to embark on a new adventure. The song takes the listener through the journey of two people moving from one world, in which they had built something from small beginnings, to a new one that they built together. The line, "Can we last forever? Can we even try?" suggests that the two are unsure of the future, but they are willing to attempt to find out together. As they journey to their new galaxy, the two take their time, waiting for darkness to fall, and allowing their hearts to guide them.
The song speaks to the idea of building a life with someone from scratch, starting with what seems like nothing and creating something extraordinary. It is a song of hope, and taking chances on love, despite uncertainty about the future. The repetition of the line, "Come, come, come away with me" emphasizes the desire to escape to a new world, where anything is possible.
Overall, Paperwhite's Galaxy is an uplifting song that celebrates the power of love and the ability to create something meaningful out of very little.

Can we last forever
Can our love and companionship be eternal?
Can we even try
Do we have it in us to make an effort for this?
Grab my hand it's so steady
Take ahold of my firm, stable hand
We are leaving here tonight
Let's depart from our current situation today
All at once, we found each other
We discovered one another unexpectedly
Piece by piece, we built another world
We established a new reality together gradually
Out of something small
From something insignificant, we crafted something great
One by one, the stars collided
Every celestial body converged systematically
Two and two, we both unite
Our fates and hearts became one in pairs
It's ours
It belongs to us only
Take me far away
Transport me to a distant land
To our galaxy
To the seemingly unattainable fantasy we've created
Come, come, come away with me
Accompany me on this excursion
Now we wait for darkness
We anticipate the arrival of nightfall
My eyes fixed on the door
I can't divert my gaze from the threshold
Time moves slower than ever
The clock seems to be moving at a glacial pace
But my heart can't be ignored
My emotional impulses are too strong to disregard
Stay here a minute longer
Spend some extra time with me in this moment
I see the sky is calling
I perceive that the heavens are summoning us
We'll start racing toward the sun
Let's make a mad dash for the nearest star
Don't say it's now or never
Don't express that this is our only opportunity
I think we found forever
I believe we've discovered everlasting love
And our galaxy
Our intimate sphere beyond reach of others
Come, come, come away with me
Embark on this journey with me, I plead

Can we last forever?
Can we even try?
Grab my hand it's all steady
We are leaving here tonight
All at once we build each other
Piece by piece we build another world
Out of something small
One by one the stars colliding
Two and two we fought united force
Take me far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
Now we wait for darkness
My eyes fixed on the door
Time will start with an error
But my heart can't be ignored
All at once we build each other
Piece by piece we build another world
Out of something small
One by one the stars colliding
Two and two we fought united force
Take me far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
Take here a minute longer
I see the sky is coming
We'll start raising doors this time, oh
We see it's now or never
I think we found forever
And we'll start raising door to the sun
(x2)
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away
To our GALAXY, far, far away

Thank you Paperwhite, your sound is like a glimmer of hope for me. Artists like you MUST continue to exist for ever and ever.
Samuel DM
This is a beautiful track. 1980's-inspired synths meets 21st Century technology and artistry.
Danae Wardrup
@꧁Spice Princess Art꧂ Thank you for the recommendations!! Exploring the artists you mentioned and I really like them! Been a fan of LIGHTS for minute too :)

This genre is called Synthwave :D Music made in this time, but made to sound like it's from the 1980's.
Artists like Scavenger Hunt, Myzica, and The Midnight make music that sounds very similar to this. She isn't synthwave (although she does do some) but you might also enjoy the artist Lights Poxleitner. This song sound EXACTLY like something she would do. If you like the sound of Paperwhite, you'll like her sound as well.

+Samuel DM Yeah, otherwise known as the greatest generation, lol. I hear some Corey Hart synths.
Dillon Robinson
So few views/comments? This is some of the best synth pop I've ever heard. Wonderfully catchy and sounds great on high quality headphones. Amazing work.

This randomly started playing on a playlist of mine, and I'm glad it did. This song is amazing.😌

I love love the 80s vibes in this with a modern electro twist and soothing, harmonizing vocals.
Daniel Simon - Newmark Grubb Pearson Commercial
Some of the freshest and most original music I've heard in a long time. I'll be buying this ep. You guys are truly talented, and outstanding song writers!
Yosh Talwar
love the gated reverb drums and overall atmospheric sound.
