Lyrics meaning
The speaker invites someone to leave familiar surroundings and imagine a night in space together. The mood shifts from weariness with โthat placeโ toward excitement, closeness, and wonder. The repeated question, โHow do you do it?โ, suggests amazement at how strongly this person affects the speaker.
Outer space is an image of escape and a fresh start: seeing Earth from far away makes ordinary life seem distant, and โstart againโ hints at wanting a different perspective. The fear of heights adds a small note of vulnerability, while the offer to hold the other person expresses comfort. Calling the person โstellarโ means they seem extraordinary, like a star.
The lyrics also use physical closeness to express emotional intimacy. โInside of youโ may suggest deep connection, though it could also carry a more explicitly sensual meaning; the song does not settle the question. Likewise, the invitation to space may be a literal fantasy or a metaphor for entering an intense shared experience. Overall, the speaker sounds captivated, but the lyrics leave open exactly what kind of closenessโand escapeโthey are describing.
