Shooting Star Lyrics

Close your tired eyes
Relax and then
Count from one to ten
And open them
All these heavy thoughts

Will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air
You're finally free
And you can stay up there


Right next to me

All this gravity
Will try to pull you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light

'Cause it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are

Tonight
Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are
Tonight

Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flames so hot

It melts our hearts
Oh, the pouring rain
Will try to put it out
But not this time
Let your colors burn
And brightly burst
Into a million sparks
That all disperse

And illuminate a world
That'll try to bring you down

But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Tonight
Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are
Tonight
A thousand heartbeats beat in time
It makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Tonight
Wo-ah, Wo-ah, Wo-ah
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are
Tonight
