Shooting Star
Muna Lyrics

I heard there's a few different people you're talking to
I've heard that you're talking to multiple individuals, I wonder if you sometimes lose track of them

I wonder if you lose track of them some of the time
I'm curious if you sometimes forget about the people you're talking to

I'm laughing 'cause I know I only just met you
I find it amusing because I've recently met you

But you're already spanning skylines inside of my mind
However, you've already made a significant impact on my thoughts and imagination

And tonight when I closed that door
And on this particular night, when I shut that door

I wanted to turn back
I had the desire to go back

But when I see a shooting star
However, when I catch sight of a shooting star

I stay out of its path
I refrain from interfering with its trajectory

And that's what you are
And that's exactly what you represent

You're so bright, you'd burn my eyes
You possess such radiance that it would be blinding

And you'd move too fast, so I say goodnight
Moreover, you have a tendency to move swiftly, hence I bid you goodnight

Make it home like I'm making a wish
May you safely return, as if I'm making a wish

On you, from afar
For you, from a distant position

You, my shooting star
You, my metaphorical shooting star

I know what you wanted because I wanted it too
I understand your desires because I share the same ones

To be in your light, consumed and erased
To bask in your presence, to be consumed and ultimately forgotten

But your light doesn't stay, you'd take it away too soon
However, your illumination is ephemeral, you would snatch it away prematurely

And leave me hung over the moon, stranded in space
Leaving me overwhelmed, abandoned, and lost in the vastness of space

So even though tonight when I closed that door
Therefore, despite the fact that tonight, when I shut that door

I wanted to turn back
I desired to retreat

I know when I see a shooting star
I am aware that when I spot a shooting star

To stay out of its path
To avoid crossing its trajectory

Starlight, star bright
Radiant star, gleaming and shining

The only star I see tonight
The sole star captivating my attention this night

Wish, I may and I think I might regret this either way
I may desire and perhaps I will regret this decision, whichever path I choose

If I let you in my heart or keep you in the dark
Whether I allow you entry into my heart or keep you concealed and unaware

So I love you from afar
Thus, I choose to love you from a distance

You, my shooting star
You, my emblematic shooting star
