Stop, hey, don't you dare move
Why you always have to go and leave so soon
Don't you know it's all so clear
All you have to really do is stay right here
Shooting star that's what you are

Hey, do we have to lose
Why you always have to pack a bag so soon
Why quit, we're getting so close
It's hard to love the ones loving you the most
Shooting star that's what you are
You're moving in the wrong direction

I say love is a choke, love is a chain, love is a jag
I know, I know and it just keeps coming
Love is a lie, love is a drag, love is insane
I know, I know if you just keep running
On in a straight line
Cause you know you got to come back sometime
You can't fight a world so round
When you get back you will have found a
Shooting Star is what you are
I say a Shooting Star, that's what you are
You're moving in the wrong direction

I say love is a push, love is a dream, love is a shine
I know, I know if you just keep running
Love is a drag, love is a road, love is insane
I know, I know and it just keeps coming
Love is a wind, love the rain, love is the storm
I know, I know, it keeps on blowing
But love is alive, love is a sign, love is a place
I know you know if we just keep going
I know, I know
