I remember the time so well
Looking back you could never tell
What you meant when you said to me
This is how it was going to be

In your apartment up in the back
I was peaking through a window crack
Looking out at a straight fall back
You looked over at me and said

Tonight I'm going to be like a shooting star
You would not believe I would go this far
But I know what that means
I know what that means

Out of anger or out of spite
Clinging on to me every night
With your face in your hands you were
Like a flame with nothing to burn

Every time I would turn away
Every time I would go astray
Every time try to get off the hook
You would give me that same old look

Tonight I'm going to be like a shooting star
You would not believe I would go this far
But I know what that means
I know what that means

There are things now that I have lost
I have payed up for every cost
I admit that I had to go
Now its over you see and so

Tonight I'm going to be like a shooting star
You would not believe I would go this far
You know what that means
You know what that means
