I Wish I Was A Shooting Star

(album: Portraits - 2023)

Is anybody home upstairs?
It's been a shitty night
If I'm honest, I'm a little scared
And a bit too high

Oh, I'm in a
Dark haze, but you will never know
What it's like in the shadows
You say I'm bound for miserable

So, tell me how I'm meant to feel
I'm dying to get out of here
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
I wish I was a shooting star
Burn out as the world admires
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah

Will anybody ever care
As much as they don't?
The universe seems unfair
Maybe mine is broke

Oh, I'm in a
Dark haze, but you will never know
What it's like in the shadows
You say I'm bound for miserable

So, tell me how I'm meant to feel
I'm dying to get out of here
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
I wish I was a shooting star
Burn out as the world admires
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah

Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh (Take me from the night)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (What I'd give to feel the light)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (One taste of what it's like)
Oh (To burn out and never die)
Oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh (Take me from the night)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (What I'd give to feel the light)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (One taste of what it's like)
Oh (To burn out and never die)

Is anybody home upstairs?
It's been a shitty night
