Big Star Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everyone knows that you're too good for me, don't they?
I'm a cheater, I lie, and I'm shy
But you like to say hello to total strangers
Shivering pines and walls of colour
I can't believe I used to stay inside
[Pre-Chorus]
But every perfect summer's gotta say goodnight
Now I watch you run through the amber light
I used to love the party, now I'm not alright
Drinking in the dark, take me home tonight
[Chorus]
Baby, you're a big star
You're a big star
Wanna take your picture
[Verse 2]
I toss up if it's worth it now every time I get on a plane
I've got so much to tеll you and not enough time to do it in
[Pre-Chorus]
But evеry perfect summer's gotta take its flight
I'll still watch you run through the winter light
I used to love the party, now I'm not alright
Hope the honeybees make it home tonight
[Chorus]
Baby, you're a big star
You're a big star
Wanna take your picture
[Outro]
'Til I die
'Til I die
'Til I die

What did Lorde say about "Big Star"?
The title of this song is a nod to Big Star the band, who I absolutely love. When I think about a song like “Thirteen” by Big Star, there’s something so kind of childlike about it, and the song channels a similar thing. But I also loved the image of the people that we love being like celebrities to...
What is this song about?
This song is about my dog, my beautiful boy Pearl who I love so much and miss every day. I wrote it before he died, before I knew that there was anything wrong with him. I wrote this at home on the piano, I remember he was lying underneath it, I looked down and was like… “You big dummy. You’re never...
