Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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
CHORUS:
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
('Cos 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
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
CHORUS
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart...
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
CHORUS:
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
('Cos 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
We're fire and ice, the dream won't come true
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, oh
CHORUS
Sara, Sara, storms are brewin' in your eyes
Sara, Sara, no time is a good time, no
Ooh Sara, why did it, why did it, why did it all fall apart...

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is the song I was named after but I spell it Sarah
One of the ultimate sacrifices of love. Letting the other person leave to find true happiness, even if it will kill you for the rest of your life.
Their dreams of happiness are just too different (we're fire and ice, the dream won't come true) and the only way for her to be happy is for her to leave him.
This is just a final message saying It couldn't work between us, but I will always love you.
(A reply to deluted below)<br /> <br /> You are so right, I'm one of those people, stuck in the past with the only first and true love in high school. Yes, that was 37 years ago. Self-loathing sounds so selfish, not sure I would call it that. Just a person who was cut like a knife without closure. I guess it's like they say, nothing will ever replace your first true love. But you are right, this song haunts me as if it were yesterday, especially the very first lyrics: This is what she said "Go now don't look back, we've drawn the line. My thought is like yours "move on, it's no good to go back in time". When you just can't understand why, it's really hard to let go, but I do have to get these songs out of my playlist, it isn't going to bring her back. Thanks
wiii sara =) thats my song..n
There's usually only one of these! Sometimes it's too late. That's life...
The love of my life died of an overdose .. We had a tumultuous love … We couldn’t win cuz the battle was real .. no trust … but we loved each other .. soul ties . He lost his battle and I was mad at him before he moved on to heaven .. He reached out to me at the last minute .. I didn’t expect it and was never gone .. Like a sort of Romeo and Juliet .. only the dagger was his addiction .. I feel he sends me messages through songs .. this one has been playing in my head so I looked up the lyrics .. He’s telling me to move on .. I’ve been trying to find him and so I found one of his friends from his teen years and we’ve been getting closer to becoming a couple now .. I was looking for my deceased love in his friend … Fire and ice .. the dream won’t come true .. trying to make sense of it all and this song is a message to me … So hard to let go of my true love … Never got to say goodbye ..
lol, this song...Psychadelic? The psychadelic era of this Airplane/Starship trio died with the seventies. They even coasted through the mellow era. Now it's the..."we can't write our own music", synthesized era. But hey, whose to say it isn't good anyway. This song was the reason I became a big starship fan. Beautifully written. I love it when the to Wolf's team up and write.
But people, come on. Seriously, how has no one ever mentioned that this isn't Jefferson Starship!?!?! Kantner went off the deep end and sued Mickey and the gang's asses for using his band name. Then they ditched "Jefferson" to have a very cruddy name.
i hope people stop listening to this kind of music, and start to climb out of their self-loathing psychadelic love-struck "i can't live without you" states of mind. no seriously , great songs, but these soft rock ballads are gonna spike the depression rates i tell ya, sooner or later ,lol
