Shooting Star
Owl City (The Midsummer Station) Lyrics

Close your tired eyes, relaxing them
Take a break and close your eyes to de-stress and feel calm.

Count from one to ten and open them
Take deep breaths and relax by counting from one to ten.

All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down, but not this time
Negative thoughts can weigh one down, but one can overcome them this time and stay positive.

Way up in the air, you're finally free, and you can stay up there, right next to me
Up in the air, one can feel free and stay there beside someone else.

All this gravity will try to pull you down, but not this time
Gravity can pull one down, but one can overcome it and rise above it this time.

When the sun goes down, and the lights burn out,
When it gets dark and the lights go off,

Then it's time for you to shine
It's time to show your potential and shine brightly.

Brighter than the shooting star, so shine no matter where you are
Shine so brightly that you outshine even shooting stars, no matter where you are.

Fill the darkest night, with a brilliant light,
Make the darkest night shine with your magnificent light.

'Cause it's time for you to shine
It's the perfect time to show your brightness and shine.

Gazing into my eyes, when the fire starts,
You look into my eyes when you feel excited.

And fan the flame so hot, it melts our hearts
You fuel the excitement so much that it warms our hearts.

All the pouring rain, will try to put it out, but not this time
External factors might try to dampen the excitement, but it won't succeed this time.

Let your colors burn, and brightly burst,
Express yourself with full intensity and let your colors burst into the world.

Into a million sparks, but all dispersed and illuminate a world,
Spread your light into a million sparks and light up the world around you.

That'll try to bring you down, but not this time
External factors might try to bring you down, but you won't let them this time and stay positive.

A thousand heartbeats beating time, and makes this dark planet come alive
People's heartbeats beating together make this dark planet alive and full of life.

So when the lights flicker out tonight, you gotta shine
When it gets dark and the lights go off tonight, you need to shine as a source of light and hope.

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Exclamation of enthusiasm and excitement.

Brighter than a shooting star,
To shine brighter than a shooting star.

Shine no matter where you are, tonight
Shine relentlessly, no matter where you are, tonight.
