The Lagoons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I catch a shooting star
I'll put in my pocket and I'll save it for you
You give me butterflies
Got to get the courage just to talk to you
When I catch a shooting star
I'll put in my pocket and I'll save it for you
You got me burning up
[VERSE 1]
The sky tonight is really bright
The stars are lighting it up, yeah
Gonna pull one down
Keep it in my sight
Moving fast at the speed of light
Taking off we're living large
The day I met you I went to mars, yeah
No gravity float away with me
You can be my shooting star
[CHORUS]
When I catch a shooting star
I'll put in my pocket and I'll save it for you
You give me butterflies
Got to get the courage just to talk to you
When I catch a shooting star
I'll put in my pocket and I'll save it for you
You got me burning up
Got to get the courage just to talk to you
[VERSE 2]
Satellite
In the night
Feel your orbit around me
Making my spaceship ignite
Counting down 'til we're taking flight
Shining so bright got me wishing on you
Won't you make my dreams come true?
Will you be my shooting star?
[CHORUS]
When I catch a shooting star
I'll put in my pocket and I'll save it for you
You give me butterflies
Got to get the courage just to talk to you
When I catch a shooting star
I'll put in my pocket and I'll save it for you
You got me burning up
Got to get the courage just to talk to you

I was playing my depressing music and this played as an ad and I could not tell that it wasn't my music. Honestly a real slap

I saw a girl a few days ago who made me feel exactly what this song says. She was so perfect but I didn't approach her sadly, but music has been somewhat helping me not totally lose my mind when I'm home alone wishing I faced my fears and this is now yet another song I will listen to every day. I really hope I see her again. 😕

I absolutely love the “spacey” feel of this song. I’m gonna take it and put in my pocket to listen to many time later
