I heard there's a few different people you're talking to Wonder if you lose track of them some of the time I'm laughing 'cause I know I only just met you But you're already spanning skylines inside my mind And tonight when I closed the door, I wanted to turn back But when I see a shooting star, I stay out of its path And that's what you are, you're so bright You burn my eyes and you move too fast So I say: Goodnight, make it home Like I'm making a wish On you, from afar You, my shooting star I know what you wanted because I wanted it too To be in your light, consumed and erased But your light doesn't stay, you take it away too soon Then leave me hung over the Moon stranded in space So even though tonight when I closed the door I wanted to turn back I know when I see a shooting star to stay out of its path And that's what you are, you're so bright You burn my eyes and you move too fast So I say: Goodnight, make it home Like I'm making a wish On you, from afar You, my shooting Starlight Star bright The only star I see tonight I wish I may, and I think I might regret this either way If I write you in my heart or keep you in the dark So I'll love you from afar You, my shooting star
