Shooting Star
Flip & Fill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where where you to hold my hand? (Hold my hand)

Where where you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned?
Yes, I need you by my side
When things go crazy
I just need to know you care
Guarantee that you'll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?

I don't care how far I'll take you there
Tonight
Just tell me where you are
And everything's gonna be alright (be alright)

Just tell me where you are
(Where you are, where you are)

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Gonna fly (gonna fly)
Just to be with you tonight

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Gonna fly (gonna fly)
Just to be with you tonight

Where where you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned?
Yes, I need you by my side
When things go crazy
I just need to know you care
Guarantee that you'll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?

I don't care how far I'll take you there
Tonight
Just tell me where you are
And everything's gonna be alright (be alright)

Like a shooting star

Like a shooting star across the midnight sky
Wherever you are you're gonna see me fly
Like a shooting star across the midnight sky
Wherever you are you're gonna see me fly

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Gonna fly (gonna fly)
Just to be with you tonight

Like a shooting star
Across the midnight sky
Gonna fly (gonna fly)
Just to be with you tonight





Where were you to hold my hand? (Hold my hand)
