i saw a shooting star tonight
and i thought of you
you're trying to break into another world
a world i never knew
i always kinda wondered
if you ever made it through
i saw a shooting star tonight
and i thought of you

i saw a shooting star tonight
and i thought of me
was i still the same?
if i ever became what you wanted me to be?
did i miss the mark, overstep the line 
that only you can see?
i saw a shooting star tonight
and i thought of me

listen to the engine, listen to the bell
as the last [bad word] from [bad word] goes rolling by
all good people are praying
it's the last temptation, the last account
the last time to hear the sermon on the mount
the last radio is playing

i saw a shooting star tonight
slip away
tomorrow's gonna be another day
i guess it's too late to say the things to you
that you needed to hear me say
i saw a shooting star tonight
slip away
