SAFIA say “It’s [‘Starlight] about letting go and the lyrics and the production, the whole sound and the world it creates, is about trying to design and replicate that feeling of letting go and trying to become more present.”
[Verse 1]
Hands on my window
And I think I'm calling back
I think I'm calling back
You are my story
You're a story to relax
A story to relax
All that I needed
And I needed just a friend
And I needed just a friend
You are my forewind
But I leave alone again
But I leave alone again
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's all dance in the starlight
We don't need a foreright, yeah
We just stand in the hall light
Falling like a starlight, yeah
[Chorus]
Give it all up my friend
Maybe we were never right back then
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
Never wanna run right now
You start leaving when I think aloud
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
[Verse 2]
All in a reason
When it's all inside my
When I'm all inside my head
Caught in a feeling
But I'm closest to the edge
But I'm closest to the edge
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's all dance in the starlight
We don't need a foreright, yeah
We just stand in the hall light
Falling like a starlight, yeah
[Chorus]
Give it all up my friend
Maybe we were never right back then
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
Never wanna run right now
You start leaving when I think aloud
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
[Bridge]
All that I needed
And I needed just a friend
And I needed just a friend
You are my forewind
But I leave alone again
But I leave alone again
[Chorus]
Give it all up my friend
Maybe we were never right back then
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
Never wanna run right now
You start leaving when I think aloud
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
[Chorus]
Give it all up my friend
(Let's all dance in the starlight)
Maybe we were never right back then
(We don't need a foreright)
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
(We just stand in the hall light)
Never wanna run right now
You start leaving when I think aloud
(Falling like a starlight)
Baby give it up
Oh, you've given up
