Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll be shootin' stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
We'll be burnin' up like neon lights
Be still, my heart, 'cause it's freaking out
It's freaking out right now
Shining like stars, 'cause we're beautiful
You're all I see in all these places
You're all I see in all these faces
So let's pretend we're running out of time
Of time
Baby, when they look up at the sky
We'll be shootin' stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burnin' up like neon lights
Baby, when they look up at the sky
We'll be shootin' stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burnin' up like neon lights
(Neon lights, neon lights, neon lights)
Like neon lights, oh
Like neon lights, oh
Be still, my heart, 'cause it's freaking out
It's freaking out right now
Shining like stars, 'cause we're beautiful
We're beautiful right now
You're all I see in all these places
You're all I see in all these faces
So let's pretend we're running out of time
Of time, of time, yeah
Baby, when they look up at the sky
We'll be shootin' stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burnin' up like neon lights
Baby, when they look up at the sky
We'll be shootin' stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burnin' up like neon lights
Neon lights, neon lights (we're running out of time)
Neon lights (we're running out of time)
Like neon lights, oh (you're all I see in all these places)
Like neon lights, oh (you're all I see in all these faces)
Shining like stars 'cause we're beautiful (we're beautiful)
You're all I see in all these places (you're all that I see, you're all that I see)
You're all I see in all these faces (you're all that I see, you're all that I see)
So let's pretend we're running out of time (we're running out of time)
Of time (we're running out of time)
Like neon lights (like neon lights)
Oh
Like neon lights (like neon lights)
Oh
Be still, my heart, 'cause it's freaking out
