Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
** They were apart
She acts like summer and walks like rain
** Acts happy but he can see a touch of sadness
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
** If you realize your path is wrong its time to change.
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
** since her return she listens like someone who is hopeful and looking to future, perhaps seeing things with new eyes, but talks like someone who has seen both good and bad in life.
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
** Pretty explanatory I think. You went searching for something only to find it wasn't what you thought it would be?
Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
** The singer is pointing out he wasn't and still is not perfect. They had a romantic relationship. Whether that had anything to do with the relationship ending you would only ask this if you still have feelings and want to hear they do also. There is pain here. "Did you find someone better than me?" He wants to hear "No".
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
** Did you ever think about me and miss me while we were away from each other?
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
** She is searching for something that had been on her path. She wants something she missed.
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's room to grow, hey, hey
** She's working on herself as a person.
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
** She's more realistic.
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
** What is she looking for on the way back. Is it him or something she found that was better?
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
** He says never landed which indicates he did go airborne but never went back down. Maybe this means he never really settled, committed, or invested himself in something or someone. It would be ironic if his "flaw" was too afraid to invest all of himself into stars and she went after them but turned around. Life has a sense of humor. Maybe they were each others shooting stars. She was willing to touch ground but left him for orbitting. He watched her take off for something and is now hoping that what she had been looking for was him.
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
** Tell me the good stories you experienced along the way. He genuinely wants her to have experienced good things. And.. did you.. miss me? Why would he care unless he missed her and wants her to say she missed him.
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
** I'm not perfect but I'm real and I've touched ground. Now that you are back on the ground would you like to sit down, share a cup of coffee, and connect with each other while we try to figure out why the other is there.
