Shooting Star from Flaneur by Yo-Yo & the Chaplain

Turn out all the bulbs, it's a different world
I can't sleep tonight
Well, I know it's late for a spontaneous date;
I need you in my sight

So what d'you say, we go out of the way
To a nearby Beach?
Lookin' up at the sky, where to the naked eye
They seem almost in reach

No, I've never seen a shooting star
It's always been something that seemed too hard
To find. But if I could see one where you are
I'll be there, but I'll be there for you

Lie on the ground, can't help lookin' around
At your sweet face
Cuddled up close, that cute little nose;
This is a magical place

Perusing the stars, we're like Venus and Mars,
A mythic story to tell
You call out "I saw!" staring upwards in awe
I didn't catch it; oh, well

No, I didn't see that that shooting star
I was looking somewhere much too far
Away from the path it took across the dark
I was too busy looking at you

Time to head home, the majestic dome
Is drowned by city lights
Kissing goodbye; a mutual sigh
This is the greatest of nights

If time stopped in it's place, staring out into space,
A frozen tableaux
I'd remember the streak of light that I seek
Flashing across the sky. Now you know,

Now I've seen a shooting star
I made a wish upon that shard
Of light, asking nothing but a piece of your heart
All I wished was just to be with you
