Shooting Star lyrics

Song information

Artist: Elliott Smith
Album: From A Basement On The Hill

Lyrics

You'll make the scene like you always do
Goin' upstream down the avenue
To fuck some trophy boy that you'll win tonight at the bar
So bad, so far
You'll make him sad, shooting star

When it was me, I was momentarily proud
Drunk on dreams, now I'm glad I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real but I don't believe that you are
So bad, so far
You make me sad, shooting star

You're distant and cold, and a sight to behold
Everybody just sighs
But no one gets on with you very long
'Cause you don't feel bad when you lie

I'm going to sleep now
Going back to find square one
Square two will be where I can deal with the shit you've just done
It won't be soon, to say the least it's gonna be hard
So bad, so far
Your love is sad, shooting star
Your love is sad, shooting star
