[Refrain]
Shooting stars never fly for me
My heart’s on Mars, kinda hard to see
But you know, you know I’ll see you again
You know, you know I’ll see you again
Shooting stars never fly for me
My heart’s on Mars, kinda hard to see
But you know, you know I’ll see you again
You know, you know I’ll see you again

The refrain sets the tone for the whole song, expressing a sense of longing and distance. The imagery of shooting stars and a heart on Mars represents the unattainable and the difficulty in finding connection. Despite this, there is an underlying sense of hope, as the singer states that they will see the person again.

[Verse 1]
Feel it in the sunrise
Even in the nighttime
It’s hard to adjust now
‘Cause you ain’t around, no
Do they treat you real nice?
How do you like the new town?
Hard to adjust now
‘Cause you ain’t around, yeah

In the first verse, the singer describes the void left by the absence of their loved one. The reference to the sunrise and nighttime signifies that their thoughts are consumed by this person throughout the day. They question whether the person is being treated well and how they are adjusting to a new environment. The repetition of “you ain’t around” emphasizes the feeling of longing and the difficulty in adapting to life without them.

[Chorus]
When will I see you, see you, see you again?
I just wanna hold your hand, yeah
When will I see you, see you, see you again?
I just wanna hold your hand, oh

The chorus serves as a plea for reconnection. The repeated question “When will I see you again?” encapsulates the yearning to be reunited with the person they miss. The desire to hold their hand signifies a deep emotional longing for physical closeness and intimacy.

[Verse 2]
Feel it in the sunrise
Even in the nighttime
If I was around more
Where would you be now? Oh
Stressin’ out my own mind
Crying up on no time
It’s hard to adjust now
‘Cause you ain’t around

In the second verse, the singer reflects on their own actions and wonders how things would be different if they had been more present in the relationship. The lyrics convey the internal struggle of regret and the toll it takes on their mental well-being. The absence of their loved one continues to be a source of hardship.

[Bridge]
Another day
Another day, another day
Another day, another day
Another day, another day
Another day
I’ll see you again, I’ll see you again
I’ll see you again, I’ll see you again…

In the bridge, the repetition of “another day” symbolizes the passing of time without the person they long to see. However, there is also a flicker of hope as they affirm their belief that they will see them again.

[Refrain]
Shooting stars never fly for me
A house on Mars, kinda hard to see
But you know, you know I’ll see you again
You know, you know I’ll see you again

The concluding refrain brings us back to the imagery of shooting stars and a house on Mars, emphasizing the difficulty of the situation. Despite this, there is a reaffirmation of the certainty that they will be reunited once more.
