Shooting Star
Teeth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you happy you're a shooting star
Able to observe so many wishes that we make
Are you happy you're a shooting star
Able to give wonder to a galaxy of eternal mystery

Inside my mind
I'm waiting for you
Inside my mind
I'm searching and waiting for you

And maybe I'm lucky to have seen you tonight
Coz I needed something I have always dreamed about
It doesn't matter if I can go through
I just want my eye inside this tunnel to heaven

And I wish

High and low, find some snow
I need to know from you
Lying low, I have to grow
I need to know from you

Nostalgia. Kaway kaway batang 90's!

Iba talaga mga banda ng 90s lalong tumatagal lalong lumulupet tulad ng The Teeth 🀘 Quality tlg mga kanta ng OPM bands noon, lahat ng nilalabas na singles noon patok sa masa at makaka relate kahit anong edad.

@jamaladdinbinaladdin3639
