Story Behind The Song
Love is complicated, but the feeling is stronger than any logic. Sometimes two people share a bond, with meaningful symbolism at their core. Sometimes it's a ring, sometimes it's ... a belt. The song is really 2 songs in one. The first half of the song is happy and thoughtful, but the 2nd half of the song is a soundtrack unto itself-- In romeo and juliet fashion she chooses to improperly wear the belt to solve her problems.
Song Description
A young girl travels across the country to be with her sweetheart-- a singer in a band. Although the girl struggles with her personal problems, his adoration for her is expressed in a meaningful gift-- an iconic belt worn by the rock n roller.

Lyrics
I could be your rock star, baby
I could be your rock star girl
We could take a stroll down the boulevard
And I could wear your rock star belt.
New York City to California
I took a little trip one way
I could sleep inside your movie set trailer
until I find a place to stay
Oh won't you wear my old leather jacket
And wear your ring 'cuz you know how I felt
Wear your high heel shoes and your ruffle skirt
And you can wear my rock star belt
I love the way it wraps around you
ooh she wears me well
You're more than just my favorite sweetheart
I know you're not a full moon wrangler
You're more than just my midnight strangler
ooh she wears me well
We could walk the beach together
Swim into the ocean waves that swell
Sing our songs as we stroll down the boulevard
And I could wear your rock star belt
I love the way it wraps around you baby
Around your slender waist it suits you well
You're more than just my favorite sweetheart
That's why you wear my rock star belt
You always wear your rock star belt
And you can have my rock star belt.
I wait at the station
Amidst the rush hour tide
The sea of people float around me deep and wide
I never saw you leaving
I searched every concourse
Memories are deceiving
Especially yours
You found completion
In a feeling never felt
You looped the belt around your neck and hung yourself
Your soul was searching
Before your final choice
You found completion
But you never found your voice
D'aimer et d'être aimé
Love and be loved
D'aimer et d'être aimé
Love and be loved
D'aimer et d'être aimé
Love and be loved
