Sara
The 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

The song concludes with a final repetition of the name "Sara," as if the singer is unable to let go of his feelings for her.


Line by Line Meaning

Go now, don't look back, we've drawn the line
It's time to move forward, leaving the past behind, we've made a final decision


Move on, it's no good to go back in time
It's not worth dwelling on what's already happened, let's focus on the future


I'll never find another girl like you, for happy endings it takes two
You're one of a kind, we were meant to be together for things to work out


We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
We're too different, it's impossible for us to achieve what we want together


Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
I sense that you're going through a rough time and it shows in your eyes


Sara, Sara, no time is a good time for goodbyes
Saying goodbye is never easy, but there's never a perfect time for it


Danger in the game when the stakes are high
When taking a big risk, there's always a chance of something going wrong


Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by
I fell for you hard, even though I knew it might not end well


('Cause Sara) Loved me like no one has ever loved me before
You showed me a kind of love that I've never experienced before


(And Sara) Hurt me, no one could ever hurt me more
Unfortunately, that love also caused me a great deal of pain


(And Sara) Sara, nobody loved me anymore
After you left, I felt as though no one cared for me anymore


We're fire and ice, and a dream
Despite our differences, we shared a dream


Sara, Sara no time is a good time, oh
Again, there's no perfect time for anything, especially goodbyes


Sara, Sara no time like the first time
The beginning of our relationship was special, and nothing can replace that


Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart
I'm still struggling to understand why our relationship ended the way it did


Sara, Sara (uh Sara)
Just saying your name reminds me of everything we went through together

@@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. 😉
