High Electric Stars
This is an indie-pop love song intended for a female singer. I like to write for specific people, whether I know them or not. This time I had the Korean singer Taeyon in mind. I think she likes a certain kind of lyrical simplicity, and the movement of look/love/leave in the three verses is something she could put across.
I like the note of independence too.
I said if you looked at me
I would fall down and die
And my heart could stop beating
And my veins could run dry
Then you looked my way
And the sky was a Christmas tree
Of high electric stars
Then I said if you loved me
I would fall down and die
And the earth could stop turning
And the world pass me by
Then we fell in love
And the sky was a Christmas tree
Of high electric stars
Living with the feeling that my life was going nowhere
had me driving with my eyes closed,
Diving from the high board.
Waking every morning to another round of nothing
I could break down and cry
For high electric stars
Now I know if you leave me
I won't fall down and die
And I won't try to hold you
I won't even ask why
I'll remember the nights
When the sky was a Christmas tree
of high electric stars...
