Stars and Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for a soul that left its home...
Bright light inside the window freezing hands inside the gloves
Wonder what they're long about, oh maybe something such
You're the one I want to stay in touch...
Tap on the shoulders
My knees surrender
A comfortable glance from a stranger
Unspoken magic
As I walk little further quiet street...
As I looking down the river where the blue boat lovers
Searching for a soul that missing home...
Bright light inside the window freezing hands inside the gloves
Wonder what they're long about, oh maybe something such
You're the one I want to stay this time...
Tap on the shoulders
My feet surrender
A comfortable glance from a stranger
Skate on winter break
Unspoken magic
As I walk little further quiet street...
A poet, don't you forget about me...

As I looking down the river where the blue boat lovers
Observing the river where lovers in blue boats can be seen

As I walk little further quiet street...
Continuing to walk down a peaceful street
A poet, don't you forget about me...
A reminder to not forget about the poet
