“Star” is the ninth track on Mitski’s seventh studio album, The Land Is Inhospitable And So Are We. It describes two people who are no longer in love, but continue to care about each other partly in memory of the love they had.

[Verse 1]
Remember when we met?
We acted like two fools
We were so glad
So glad to have found it
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
You know I'd always been alone
'Til you taught me

'Cause it's traveled very far, I'll
Keep a leftover light
Burnin' so you can keep lookin' up
I'm yours no matter
That love's gone
We just see it shinin'
We've travеled very far, I'll
Keep a leftovеr light
Burnin' so you can keep lookin' up
Isn't that worth holdin' on?
