I picture the guy and girl somewhere they have met up together and they are dancing. He caused her pain in some way and she shut him out; maybe addiction. As they dance he looks over her shoulder while thinking how she is a star in his mind and that what he has left is despair. He realizes what he's lost. He doesn't want time to go by without being with her. He sees how grand she is on her own. The song doesn't suggest how she will respond but she is dancing with him.
