In the beginning of the chorus Hazel feels nostalgic of the time she spent with Augustus as she wants him to 'open his eyes' and possibly come back to life (although she knows this is impossible.) Despite this she is still hopeful and possibly looking forward to meeting Augustus in heaven as their 'horizons meet' and 'all of these stars will guide us home.' The rhetorical question 'I wonder, do you see them too?' emphasises how alone she feels and how much they shared together, as here she is being open and honest about her inner thoughts. Hazel also seems to suddenly feel distant from him as she is 'miles away', this also suggests she believes she will not die soon and that she can beat her cancer, as it possibly suggests she is miles away from heaven too (as well as Augustus.) The second section starts with 'you're on the other side' as in Augustus is in heaven (as Hazel is referring to the other side of the stars.) So this song is set after his death, near the end of the book. This line also portrays the idea that she spends lots of time thinking about him and he obviously changed her life. ' This suggests that he is special as shooting stars are considered rare and beautiful, like Augustus most obviously is to Hazel. In the first verse it is obvious that Augustus is a very valued and important person in Hazel's life as she 'saw a shooting star and thought of. The song seems to be from the point of Hazel (like the book is.)
It explores Hazel Grace's and Augustus' struggles with cancer and how it can bring people together. This song is based on 'The Fault in Our Stars' book by John Green.
