I Wish I Was A Shooting Star Lyrics by Birdy

Potraits (+ Remixes)

2023

[Verse 1]
Is anybody home upstairs?
It's been a shitty night
If I'm honest, I'm a little scared
And a bit too high
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
So, tell me how I'm meant to feel
I'm dying to get out of here
Ah-ah-ah, 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
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Verse 2]
Will anybody ever care
As much as they don't?
The universe seems unfair
Maybe mine is broke
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
So, tell me how I'm meant to feel
I'm dying to get out of here
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
I wish I was a shooting star
I'd burn out as thе world admired
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh (Take me in from thе night)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (What I'd give to feel the light)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (One taste of what it's like)
Oh (To burn out and never die)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (Take me in from the night)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (What I'd give to feel the light)
Oh, oh, oh-oh (One taste of what it's like)
Oh (To burn out and never die)
[Outro]
Is anybody home upstairs?
It's been a shitty night
