“Cassiopeia” is the seventh track from Sara Bareilles' fourth studio album, The Blessed Unrest.
In the song, Sara personifies the constellation Cassiopeia and sings about loneliness, falling in love for the first time and the sacrifices it requires.
Constellations are light years away from each ot...
[Verse 1]
Come in close, now it's time to tell the story:
Long ago, and so many years before we
Ever were, ever dreamed we even could be
There was her and her very first heartbeat
All alone in a corner of the night sky
Spiral bones of a supernova starlight
Fell in love with another burning bright
She dreamed of a way to ignite
She said
[Chorus]
"Tonight
Come on, come on, collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you're just like heaven
Why
Come on, come on, collide
Let's see what a fire feels like
I bet it's just like heaven"
(Just like heaven)
(Just like heaven)
[Verse 2]
Such a shame, nowhere near even a near miss
Light years away from the hope of being sun-kissed
Anchored home in her interstellar sea
But poor lonely Cassiopeia
So she sighs, and she burns with desperation
Learns to cry over love of constellations
Then: a spark from a star shooting too close
They both smiled; what a day to explode!
She said
[Chorus]
"Tonight
Come on, come on, collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you're just like heaven
Why
Come on, come on, collide
Let's see what a fire feels like
I bet it's just like heaven"
(Just like heaven)
(Just like heaven)
[Outro]
Long ago, in a sky built before us
A supernova grew up to be stardust
