Owl City - Shooting Star [Official Lyric Video]

Official lyric video for Owl City's "Shooting Star," from the Shooting Star EP, available now.

Lyrics:
Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time

Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight

Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts
And fan the flames so hot it melts our hearts
Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out
But not this time

Let your colors burn and brightly burst
Into a million sparks that all disperse
And illuminate a world that'll try to bring you down
But not this time

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight

A thousand heart beats beat in time
It makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh

Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight.

Owl City has this kind of vibe that I love. It has this nostalgic feeling with a fantastic tune. Honestly, this song, When Can I See You Again, And *F I R E F L I E S* are my favorite. And I haven’t even listened to all of his songs.

[whato]

Child: "what was your music like back in your day?"
Me: "Take a seat child. This is gonna take a while."

[jishabinoy]

The lyrics are so clear. You can understand what he is saying. This is the first ever song I understand the lyrics. Rest all songs I've heard the lyrics wasn't clear like this one. This brings back memories when I was younger. I never knew this Covid thing would come to the world. But this will always be remembered in my brain. It's such a good song I don't even know how people could dislike this song. Such a good one. I wish I could fly now.

I love Owl City's songs so much, they're so catchy and meaningful!

I remember listening to this song in a movie called "Escape from Planet Earth" when I was a little kid, and listening to this again is nostalgic.

[PrinceValiance]

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
[Matthew 5:14-16]

[mumtazsaid]

HOW COME I JUST HEARD OF THIS AND FIREFLIES LIKE SERIOUSLY AND I THOUGHT DAN REYNOLDS VOICE WAS THE MOST CALMING FOR ME BUT NOT ANYMORE

[SengerAustria]

It was October 1, 2020, and i was about to turn 18. Then i decided to open youtube and start a random playlist without skipping any song. When the clock turned to 00:00 and October 2 arrived, i turned 18 listening this song. I will always remember that, Adam.
I live in a small town in Brazil, with 15k inhabitants. Actually working hard during the days and studing a lot during the nights, for one day, i travel the entire world and meet you. Much love from Tenente Portela, Brazil.

[Smaug]

It's still impossible to choose my favorite Owl City song, but this one is up there.

[atseptic]

Immediately when I heard the first part of the song, I felt most of my anxious feeling fade away. It’s just amazing how a simple song could do that to me.
