Stars Lyrics
I've been lookin' up, what's coming down
Lost by all I've found.
Can we open the blinds? I need a little light.
Crippled like the flood,
the shadows crawl
like spiders on the wall.
My mind tries,
To do what my eyes can.
I don't really care,
if they're gonna steal the sun.
Gonna kidnap all the stars,
One by one by one.
Drawn by memories,
I had to leave, find a sanctuary
where I could go and swim into denial.
Hand-cuffed to the dark,
and crashing cars.
Let your lone-light shine,
let them come out the edges of your tongue.
I don't really care,
if they're gonna steal the sun.
Gonna kidnap all the stars
One by one by one.
(one by one)
(one by one)
(one by one)
My mind swings inside glass sparks,
sacrificed like a love to the rocks.
Lately sleep don't come easily.
I'm so scattered with envy
I'm still looking up, what's coming down
Lost by all I've found.
Can we open the blinds? I need a little light...
I need a little light,
I need a little light,
I need a little light,
I need a little light,
I need a little light, (I don't really care,)
I need a little light, (not really.)
I need a little light, (I don't really care,)
I need a little light, (not really.)
I don't really care, (I don't really care,)
If it's wrong or if it's right. (not really.)
(I don't really care, not really)
(I don't really care, not really)
(I don't really care, not really)
(I don't really care, not really)
I don't really care, (I don't really care,)
if they're gonna steal the sun. (not really.)
Gonna kidnap all the stars, (I don't really care.)
capture one by one by,
one by one by,
one by one by,
one by one by...
One.

This was really hard to figure out. The lyrics are quite cryptic at times, and Ben has a way of slurring words together as he sings (note: not a criticism!) So feel free to correct anything I might've got wrong.
As for the song. It's probably my least favourite on the EP. But it's clearly one of the more well thought-out pieces, and it's lyrically intensive. The music gets quite intense with so many elements coming together towards the end. For 3:16, the song is short and I think most people wouldn't 'get' everything they could from just a casual listen on the radio.
I recommend listeners loop this one a bit to really appreciate all the little elements in the background. From the extra percussion, to the backing vocals.
Now as for interpretation: I just get the idea of absolute confidence from the lyrics. It doesn't matter if they steal the sun (or spotlight, as I figure metaphorically), 'cause you're just gonna get it back eventually anyway.
