I Wish I Was A Shooting Star Official Lyrics:

Is anybody home upstairs?
It’s been a shitty night
If I’m honest I’m a little scared
And a bit too high

Oh I’m in a dark haze
But you will never know
What it’s like in the shadows
You say I’m bound for miserable

So tell me how I’m meant to feel
I’m dying to get out of here
Ah ah ah ah
I wish I was a shooting star
I’d burn out as the world admired
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Will anybody ever care?
As much as they don’t
The universe seems unfair
Maybe mine is broke

Oh I’m in a dark haze
But you will never know
What it’s like in the shadows
You say I’m bound for miserable
So tell me how I’m meant to feel
I’m dying to get out of here
Ah ah ah ah
I wish I was a shooting star
Burn out as the world admired
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

One taste of what it’s like
Burn out and never die

Take me in from the night
What I’d give to feel the light
One taste of what it’s like
Burn out and never die

Take me in from the night
What I’d give to feel the light
One taste of what it’s like
Burn out and never die

Is anybody home upstairs?
It’s been a shitty night

When Birdy said "So tell me how I'm meant to feel, I'm dying to get out of here" I really felt that. 😭
And this part (2:33) is like the moment when you finally broke the cage that was holding you back. ⚡

[aziara]

The timeless Birdy. Wow. This is such a heart and mind wrenching song yet so beautifully made, like one can come out healed 🤍

[Bealish-ftjo]

What an incredible song. I think I have seldom heard anything like this before and 2:33 is one of my favourite passages ever in music history. 🖤💛

[flikfeng]

The cosmic reverberation and effects truly bring out the essence of the song. The memorable hooks and melodies seamlessly blend together, building up to the grand symphony near the end – it nearly brought tears to my eyes. The closing moments with the intimate solo piano feel like a beautiful portrayal of a fleeting and romantic concept, like a star briefly shining in the midst of a painful life.

It's funny the further away you are.
The closer you seem.
It makes my heart cry out.
My thoughts focused on dreams,

Now it's not that great.
It sucks we're apart.
But the further away you are.
The closer the heart.

To be on your own is fine.
If your not alone inside.
However far away you'll be.
You'll always feel close to me.

Moral of the story if there's one.
When life gets you down.
On those dark days alone.
When all seems lost on your own.

Being a long way from home.
A light will still shines inside.
For the further away you'll be
The closer you are to me *💕

[RonierAcosta]
