This song took me awhile to finish. I had the lyrics for awhile but, it just wasn't working. Then one day it came to me. The song pretty much sum up what its about. Knowing that right person is out there for you, but all you can really do is just stand on the corner and watch...

I've seen you before
driving down the street
drumming your fingers on the wheel
your hair agaisnt open air,
your eyes the color of the sea
it was once or twice
you entered in my dreams

It's been a routine
I drive down avenue three
pump up my stereo
the usual burned cd
He's on the porch again
guitar on his lap
staring blankly at the stars above

Chorus:
I don't even know your name
but I've always caught your glimpses
unspoken words as intense as our gazes
two souls intertwined
but a galaxy apart
will look up above and
wish on a shooting star

You drive down Mountain Hill
stare at the cresent moon
I'll watch from the car
and hear your heartbeat too
Your breathing life as air
I feel so unprepared
but to fall in love with you
a chance I'll always take

I waited all my life
to tell you how I feel
If I take just a moment
I might get a sentence in
I'll tell you a secret in whispers
I wished on that shooting star

It's been a routine
we sit right on the beach
we look at the stars
and count on the shooting stars.
