Stars Gertjan Wijnalda, november 2002 about this song we still had a female singer in the band back in november '02. we couldn't quite figure out her role, so to guide the process i wrote her a song (a first for me!) to sing. based on my experiences with a few different girls i knew with whom things always went crazy and started to get twisted - it was no surprise i started singing the song myself when our female singer left the band. stars is also about the problems one can have in a relationship where one of both is always wondering about the deeper meaning of things and the other just doesn't care. when you're different, that could lead to great times, but when you're completely different ... have you ever seen the stars? listen to it   [ realaudio ] there is currently no recording of this song available. Stars (G.L. Wijnalda) I've been through black holes in my mind Only to find that you're in love with me Now I see the drunken nights we've had When you declared you'd stay with me But we're different So different And I wonder if you've ever seen the stars I've been through black times in my life They've made me change my ways and grow Oh, I believe you understand me well But it never came across to you at all That we're different So different And I just can't figure it out Have you ever seen the stars Did you ever learn to look without a reason Making up a reason of your own Have you really seen them all Have you ever seen one fall Waiting 'till another one is shown Since I was young I thought about all of my life And about the things to be said I often said we're gonna be made again And you just nod and say you agree Oh, we're different So different And I just can't figure it out Chorus I want things to be different Believe me honey But I'm not gonna change who you and I are So we're never gonna see Never ever gonna see Beyond the stars Chorus When I look over your shoulder When we're in some kind of last embrace High in the sky I get a glimpse Of another lonely star
