I heard there's a few different people you're talking to
I 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 of my mind

And tonight when I closed that 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'd burn my eyes
And you'd 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'd take it away too soon
And leave me hung over the moon, stranded in space

So even though tonight when I closed that 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'd burn my eyes
And you'd move too fast, so I say goodnight
Make it home like I'm making a wish
On you, from afar
You, my shooting star

Starlight, star bright
The only star I see tonight
Wish, I may and I think I might regret this either way
If I let you in my heart or keep you in the dark
So I love you from afar
You, my shooting star
