About Starry Skies
We know that Saara loves to sing about love, and Starry Skies is no exception. Lyrically we hear Saara waiting for that first kiss from that special someone, where she sings ‘We’re too scared to kiss’, and what a person will do just to get that kiss from that special someone:
I don’t wanna leave here till the sunrise
Underneath a billion starry skies
And I still remember you and me together
On the night that we got started underneath those Starry skies
Chorus of Starry Skies
As ‘Starry Skies’ was released, Saara commented on how it’s one of the best songs she’s written.
I feel like it’s one of the best songs I’ve ever written. So personal. About your first love. When it’s too cold to stay outside but you’re still there waiting for your first kiss.
