Stargazing Lyrics

You're saying it's hopeless, that I should hope less
Heaven can help us, well maybe "she" might
You say it's beyond us, what is beyond us?
Let's see and decide

We've been meteoric, even before this
Burns half as long when it's twice as bright
So if it's beyond us, then it's beyond us
Let's see and decide

And I will still be here, stargazing
I'll still look up, look up
Look up for love
I will still be here, stargazing
I'll still look up, look up
Look up for love

Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love

I'm trying to save us, you don't wanna save us
You blame human nature, and say it's unkind
Let's make up our own minds, we've got our whole lives
Let's see and decide, decide

And I will still be here, stargazing
I'll still look up, look up
Look up for love
Stars don't disappear, they keep blazing
Even when the night is over
And I will still be here, stargazing
I'll still look up, look up
Look up for love
Stars don't disappear, they keep blazing
Even when the night is over
That's how I find the light

Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
That's how I find the light
Don't you, give up, for me (oh)
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
That's how I find the light
Don't you, give up, for me
Don't fall, don't give up, for love
That's how I find the light
Don't you, give up, for me (oh)
Don't fall, don't give up, for love

Cover art for Stargazing lyrics by Kygo

I know the video shows a kid longing for his father but the lyrics IMHO are more relevant to romantic love gone awry. Saying "Burns half as long when it's twice as bright" it sounds like it was a particularly passionate love and ended up in conflict. "I'm trying to save us, you don't wanna save us" - one person really wants to fix things while the other doesn't. The singer keeps saying let's not give up and say it's hopeless, we can decide for ourselves rather than blame human nature.

Very sad song! Was listening to this at New Year's Eve looking at stars and fireworks while missing someone very much (someone who's also into stargazing, ironically). It seems more hopeless day by day so not sure how much longer I'll still be here stargazing after this one; maybe some stars do disappear :(

My Interpretation

@jadepenguin that’s exactly what I was thinking too, just came on here to see if anyone else thought the same. Very sad song indeed. I was drawn to it cuz of a similar situation as you with a relationship where both of us like to stargaze and sometimes I can feel like we are burning twice as bright and I don’t want it to die :/
