Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can't turn back the time no matter how hard we try
I know that nothing lasts forever
There's no tomorrow, if I have to fight alone
Can't you see that love lies bleeding
We're still alive our hearts are beating
Save us while you can, yeah you can
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
Under the pitch-black night I search for the light
I'm seeking answers between the black and the white
I know that nothing lasts forever
There's no tomorrow, if I have to fight alone
Can't you see that love lies bleeding
We're still alive our hearts are beating
Save us while you can, yeah you can
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
Can't you see that love lies bleeding
We're still alive our hearts are beating
Save us while you can, yeah you can
I wish uponThere's no tomorrow, when you crash and burn a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
Under the pitch-black night I search for the light
I'm seeking answers between the black and the white
I know that nothing lasts forever
There's no tomorrow, if I have to fight alone
Can't you see that love lies bleeding
We're still alive our hearts are beating
Save us while you can, yeah you can
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
I wish upon a shining star tonight
To guide me through the dark to find the light
