“Shooting Star”
By Nick Samuels
Verse 1
Been a long time since you left me here
On the East side feeling low
You had no time to waste another year, and I don’t blame you
Things around here move too slow
You said ‘I’m leaving today
And I won’t be back no more’
My heart it started to break
As soon as you walked out the door
Pre-Chorus
I know why you ran away
It was something you had to do
This town can tear you apart
Man these people don’t have a clue
Chorus
Wherever you are
You’re still my little shooting star
Burning bright in the sky
Verse 2
Somewhere the sun is shining
And the day feels brand new
A million lights fill the western night
And I know that’s where I’ll find you
Would you remember the hazy summer
And the nights spent on the rocks
Making love by the old oak stream
Until we finally got caught
Pre-Chorus 2
I know why you ran away
And I can’t be mad at you
This town can bury your heart
Beneath its avenues
Chorus
Bridge
It’s cold without you in my arms
I feel a bit empty
Holding on is so hard
When you’re so far away from me
Wherever you are
You’re still my little shooting star
Burning bright in the sky
And now you’re free
Shooting stars are always meant to be
Can’t let your dreams pass by
