Array ( [sid] => 152033 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Shooting Star [time] => 2009-08-05 14:09:47 [hometext] => A fun song I wrote about heartbreak. It describes how a relationship got started, and how much it ment.... [bodytext] => Looking up at the sky one night
Contemplating matters in my soul
I felt like an unfinished puzzle
Mostly there but not quite whole

When out of nowhere up in the sky
A falling meteor flashed up bright
And I heard someone close to me
Shriek out as if with fright

I looked around to investigate
and to my large surprise
The most beautiful girl I had ever seen
Was standing there looking into my eyes

I couldn't believe my luck
It was love at first sight
As suddenly as that shooting star appeared
You came in to my life


[Chorus]
I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
Like a shooting star you caught my eye
But you weren't here to stay

So I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
You were my sweet breath of life
And the lead in my soul's play

I'm not okay
[end chorus]


We lived together with the amount of passion
Only heard about in a love song's melody
Never once did we get in a fight
Everthing went perfectly

There are so many things I gained from you
All of which I cannot say
You were the one that gave me confidence
Like a bald man and a toupee

Like a brand new italian suit
You made me feel good about myself
I used to put your pictures on my mantle
But like my heart its now an empty shelf

I had placed all my eggs in one basket
When I gave my faith to you
You even crossed your heart and promised
Telling me that you would always stay true

But you stink at doing what you say you will
And you thought it would be a thrill
To break apart all me eggs
And kick me right between the legs


[Chorus]
I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
Like a shooting star you caught my eye
But you weren't here to stay

So I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
And the artist that you were
Molded my mind like it was clay

Its okay...
[end chorus]


Now the anger has all gone
And I'm just standing all alone
All thats left is regret
That a heart still beats inside this chest

It feels like I'm that meteor
Burning up in the atmosphere
The fires all around me like hell
Which made sense when I think about how far I fell

When you left

[Chorus]
I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
Like a shooting star you caught my eye
But you weren't here to stay

So you just keep on flying
Don't even think about me
I'm sure I'll be fine
Crying myself to sleep

Cause I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
Like a shooting star you caught my eye
But you weren't here to stay
[end chorus]


But now its time to drain these rivers
And put a stopper on my tears
I'll look back up in the sky this year
And shooting stars I won't go near

I'll just wait...for a beautiful comet...to come here [comments] => 0 [counter] => 148 [topic] => 34 [informant] => ryanadams [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
Shooting Star

Looking up at the sky one night
Contemplating matters in my soul
I felt like an unfinished puzzle
Mostly there but not quite whole

When out of nowhere up in the sky
A falling meteor flashed up bright
And I heard someone close to me
Shriek out as if with fright

I looked around to investigate
and to my large surprise
The most beautiful girl I had ever seen
Was standing there looking into my eyes

I couldn't believe my luck

As suddenly as that shooting star appeared
You came in to my life


[Chorus]
I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
Like a shooting star you caught my eye
But you weren't here to stay

So I cry rivers every night
And bury myself deeper every day
You were my sweet breath of life
And the lead in my soul's play
