Under the starry night, over your shoulder
Breathing heavily, small stars pouring down
In a brief second, one wish arises
I clasped my hands and wished to the sky
If I could
Breathing heavily, small stars pouring down
In a brief second, one wish arises
I clasped my hands and wished to the sky
If I could

We run under the starry night sky
Looking at you following me from afar
Drawing the 12 constellations again
Will you stay the same even as time passes
My little star

In the moment I forgot the stars in childhood tales
You’re the only star I’ve ever embraced
Emotions ignite, on the verge of explosion
“If I’m the universe that holds you”
How would it be?
If I could say

“If I’m the universe that holds you”

When night falls, reaching out far
If I could fill my hands with you
If I could fill my hands with you

One, two, three, four, fading away
Slowly the morning light comes
Even as time passes, let’s
Meet again and count the stars

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation
The lyrics imagine love beneath a sky overflowing with stars, where every memory of the past seems to lead back to the same cherished person. Shooting stars, constellations, and the twelve signs of the zodiac become symbols of time passing while the narrator quietly wishes that their bond will remain unchanged. The loved one is described as the only star they have ever been able to hold, while the narrator dreams of becoming an entire universe capable of embracing them. Even as night fades into morning and the stars disappear one by one, there is a promise to meet again, count them together, and preserve a timeless bond beneath the endless sky.
