The Jefferson Airplane - Jefferson Starship - Starship Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
Move on, it's no good to go back in time

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by

I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes

('Cause Sara) loved me like no one has ever loved me before
(And Sara) hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore

I'll never find another girl like you, no
We're fire and ice, and a dream

Sara
Sara, Sara no time is a good time, oh

Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, for good bye's
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara no time like the first time
Sara, Sara
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart




Sara, Sara (uh Sara)
Sara

Overall Meaning

The song “Sara” by Jefferson Starship tells the story of a broken relationship and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics speak about a person named Sara who is going through a tough time, with storms brewing in her eyes. The chorus repeats the message that there is no good time for goodbyes, emphasizing the emotional turmoil of ending a relationship. The singer laments that he will never find another girl like Sara and acknowledges that it takes two to create a happy ending. However, their differences were too great, with the two being fire and ice, and therefore the dream won't come true.


The lyrics use metaphor heavily, portraying the relationship between the singer and Sara as one that was dangerous and high-stakes, with the stakes so high that the singer's heart was branded. The lyrics express how Sara loved him like no one else had before, but she also hurt him more deeply than anyone ever could. As the song closes, the singer wonders why it all fell apart and why he can't have Sara anymore, with the storms brewing in her eyes symbolizing the emotions they are both feeling.

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
It's time to move on and not dwell in the past


Move on, it's no good to go back in time
Going back to the past won't change anything or make things better


I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
You were unique and special, but things didn't work out because both parties need to contribute to make the relationship work

I can see that you're upset or troubled based on your facial expressions

There's always risk involved in any situation, especially when a lot is at stake


Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
I fell in love and got hurt, even though I should have seen it coming

You showed me a type of love that was new and unforgettable

Unfortunately, the intense love was followed by intense pain and heartbreak

Even though things didn't end well, our first moments together were magical and unforgettable

@@kellyb1597 Lol! Funny you say that, girl. I work in a footwear store. A couple weeks back a young woman visited our store that was mentally challenged, but completely in the moment.

She immediately asked my name. I told her Ted, and I asked her name. He friend said she never asks for anyone's name. Her name is Sarah. 😃

I said, "nice to meet you Sarah. One of my favorite songs ever is by a group named Jefferson Starship. It's called "Sarah", and I asked, "did they name that song after you"? 🤣

She blushed and said, "noooo". I told her, "I don't know, girl. The song is all about a special girl. I think they named it after you".

She beamed all the way out of the door. They're both about 21. Surprisingly, neither of them know who Jefferson is, much less have ever heard the song. But her friend assured her they'd listen to it the minute they hit the car.

I bet you when she heard it, she wished it was written in honor of her. 😉
