Shooting Star
When your brand new house burns down in an evening
After saving your entire life
When you spend your days looking for love
But you never could find a wife
Never get outside because of bad weather
And poor decisions after five years clean
When you get laid off from a fresh start
There's no wall so you fall whenever you lean
Why did I get to see the shooting star?
When someone else needed it more
Why did I get to travel so far?
While others just stay at home
And why do I get everything I need
While others live for more
And I'm sorry that you're stranded out at sea
Half a mile from shore
When you're all alone in this world
So you grow old at seventeen
You win the lottery but lose the ticket
And the same thing happened last week
When your trailer is up in flames
And you're nowhere to be seen
I'll never forget your name
Or that you never got to grow up like me
And why did I get to see the shooting star?
When someone else needed it more
Why do I get to travel so far?
While others just sit at home
And why do I get everything I need
While others live for more
Oh oh oh
And I'm sorry that you're stranded out at sea
Half a mile from shore
Like a drinking fountain in the desert
Like a sandy shore when you're stuck at sea
Like a gas station when you're running on empty
Halfway back to me
Like a big old fire when you're stuck in the arctic
And like a sauna when you get back home
Like a person when you need a companion
To make sure you don't feel so all alone
And I will share my shooting star
Because you've never seen one before
I will take you with me
When I hit the open road
I will give you everything you need
And more
And I promise that when you go to sleep
You will be warm
After saving your entire life
When you spend your days looking for love
But you never could find a wife
Never get outside because of bad weather
And poor decisions after five years clean
When you get laid off from a fresh start
There's no wall so you fall whenever you lean
Why did I get to see the shooting star?
When someone else needed it more
Why did I get to travel so far?
While others just stay at home
And why do I get everything I need
While others live for more
And I'm sorry that you're stranded out at sea
Half a mile from shore
When you're all alone in this world
So you grow old at seventeen
You win the lottery but lose the ticket
And the same thing happened last week
When your trailer is up in flames
And you're nowhere to be seen
I'll never forget your name
Or that you never got to grow up like me
And why did I get to see the shooting star?
When someone else needed it more
Why do I get to travel so far?
While others just sit at home
And why do I get everything I need
While others live for more
Oh oh oh
And I'm sorry that you're stranded out at sea
Half a mile from shore
Like a drinking fountain in the desert
Like a sandy shore when you're stuck at sea
Like a gas station when you're running on empty
Halfway back to me
Like a big old fire when you're stuck in the arctic
And like a sauna when you get back home
Like a person when you need a companion
To make sure you don't feel so all alone
And I will share my shooting star
Because you've never seen one before
I will take you with me
When I hit the open road
I will give you everything you need
And more
And I promise that when you go to sleep
You will be warm
