Knock on my door, boy, come home 00:06
You stay in my head 00:11
Lay in my arms, why won't you? 00:12
It's been way too long 00:17
What you waiting on? 00:20
'Cause I've been laying here 00:23
Learning what the memories won't do 00:25
See, I need you and, baby, I need to 00:29
Let down my guard and give you my scars 00:34
Open up my heart 00:41
We could be stars 00:44
We could be stars 00:47
00:50
We could be stars 00:53
00:56
Rap on my window, come home 01:01
It's been a while, so stick around, why don't you? 01:06
Till the end of time 01:12
Say that you'll be mine 01:15
An uphill climb, fighting what the heart really wants to do 01:18
See, I need you 01:24
And sometimes we need to 01:27
Shed our façade and be just who we are 01:30
All broken and torn, then we could be stars 01:36
Oh, we could be stars 01:42
01:45
We could be stars 01:48
01:52
We could be stars 01:55
Piercing lights in the dark 01:57
Make the galaxy ours 02:00
Kingdom right where we are 02:03
Shining bright as a morning 02:06
You'll never be lonely 02:10
Just promise you'll love me 02:13
I'm never too far 02:16
And we'll never part 02:19
We could be stars 02:22
Oh, we could be stars 02:25
02:28
We could be stars 02:32
02:35
Oh, we could be stars 02:37
Just find a way to get home 02:40
There's space in my heart 02:44
Open arms for you to run to 02:46
Baby, close your eyes and take the leap 02:51
To make believe in fairy tales 02:54
I'll meet you there, oh yeah, I'll fall too 02:58
See, I've wanted you here 03:03
All along, but my fear 03:06
Just keeps haunting me, won't let me go 03:09
So it's hard to say I love you 03:14
We could be stars 03:18
Oh, we could be stars 03:21
03:24
We could be stars 03:27
03:30
We could be stars 03:33

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Knock on my door, boy, come home
You stay in my head
Lay in my arms, why won't you?
It's been way too long
What you waiting on?
'Cause I've been laying here
Learning what the memories won't do
See, I need you and, baby, I need to
Let down my guard and give you my scars
Open up my heart
We could be stars
We could be stars

We could be stars

Rap on my window, come home
It's been a while, so stick around, why don't you?
Till the end of time
Say that you'll be mine
An uphill climb, fighting what the heart really wants to do
See, I need you
And sometimes we need to
Shed our façade and be just who we are
All broken and torn, then we could be stars
Oh, we could be stars

We could be stars

We could be stars
Piercing lights in the dark
Make the galaxy ours
Kingdom right where we are
Shining bright as a morning
You'll never be lonely
Just promise you'll love me
I'm never too far
And we'll never part
We could be stars
Oh, we could be stars

We could be stars

Oh, we could be stars
Just find a way to get home
There's space in my heart
Open arms for you to run to
Baby, close your eyes and take the leap
To make believe in fairy tales
I'll meet you there, oh yeah, I'll fall too
See, I've wanted you here
All along, but my fear
Just keeps haunting me, won't let me go
So it's hard to say I love you
We could be stars
Oh, we could be stars

We could be stars

We could be stars
