** Like A Star ** **

Songwriters: ** Bailey Rae, Corinne;

Just like a star across my sky Just like an angel off the page You have appeared to my life Feel like I'll never be the same Just like a song in my heart Just like oil on my hands Oh, I do love you

Still I wonder why it is I don't argue like this With anyone but you We do it all the time Blowing out my mind

You've got this look I can't describe You make me feel like I'm alive When everything else is a fade Without a doubt you're on my side

Heaven has been away too long Can't find the words to write this song Oh, your love

Still I wonder why it is I don't argue like this With anyone but you We do it all the time Blowing out my mind

I have come to understand The way it is, it's not a secret anymore 'Cause we've been through that before From tonight I know that you're the only one I've been confused and in the dark, now I understand

I wonder why it is I don't argue like this With anyone but you I wonder why it is

I won't let my guard down For anyone but you We do it all the time Blowing out my mind

Just like a star across my sky Just like an angel off the page You have appeared to my life Feel like I'll never be the same Just like a song in my heart Just like oil on my hands

Analysis: In this song Corinne Bailey personifies the stars to explain longing for things that we all want but are to far away, and our dependency on such things tends to make us forget about things on earth and just stare into or own "space" and long for or own "stars". In the end we realize we can never count on the stars and we can only look to them for hope but not to fly.
