Eva
Stars Are Falling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waiting is so hard to do.
Eva, I love you but I cannot keep on waiting for you to come home.
I just don't care what tonight may think of this idea.
Everything falls apart.
Waiting.
I can't recognize you.
I can't see your face.
Eva, bring your love to the fight where we can be together.
Where we can be one and you can see that I forgot your taste.
I know the problem is you.
To see what we've become I brought this mirror.
We cannot go on kissing this way.
Listen to the silence of this poem.
With all my heart and God as my witness.
I know the problem is you.




Lovers die together.
When lovers die.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Eva" by Stars Are Falling tell a story of a love that is struggling due to one person's inability to commit. The singer, who is deeply in love with Eva, is tired of waiting for her to come back to him. He expresses his frustration with waiting and says that he doesn't care about what the night may think of his decision. He acknowledges that everything is falling apart, and he can no longer recognize Eva or see her face.


The singer then implores Eva to bring her love to the fight so they can be together. He wants to forget the past and move forward with their relationship. However, he also recognizes that the problem is with her and brings a mirror to show her what they have become. He knows that they cannot continue to merely kiss and stay as they are. The singer then ends the song with the haunting line "lovers die together" implying that their love may be ending.
