Shooting Star
BACK-ON Itou Kanae Kudou Shizuka Hirano Aya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one else to blame
Looking back, those blue eyes and curls
Not a single clue
Two left feet, and a tiny dancer
Swaying in the wind
Folding clothes, wondering what went wrong
Still don't got a clue
Put my shoes on, have another go
And for now I look and see that it's never meant to be
As it once was
Washed out jeans, and a faded smile
Wishing for some hope
It feels like I'm looking forward to
Some more shooting stars
When tomorrow comes, I'll wipe away the tears
Put my shoes on, have another go
And for now I look and see that it's never meant to be
As it once was
Tomorrow's come, I've wiped away the tears
Shoes untied, I've had another go
And now I really see that it's never meant to be
As it once was

The ballad of all ballads....son...Johnny was a schoolboy
When he heard his first Beatles song
'Love Me Do' I think it was
And from then it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar
Used to play every night
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit
And everything's alright
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Johnny told his Mama
"Hey, Mama, I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time
Gonna be a big star someday"
Mama came to the door
With a teardrop in her eye
Johnny said, "Don't cry Mama
Smile and wave goodbye"
Don't you know?
Everybody, yeah!
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Well, Johnny made a record
Went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved
To hear him sing the song
Watchin' the world go by
Surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said
"Well, I made the big-time at last!"
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleeping tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know? Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
Don't you know?
Don't you know that you are a shooting star?
All the world will love you just as long
Long as you are
A shooting star
