We keep our love in a plain brown box

We keep it tied with a simple lock

We hold it close 'cause it's all we got

We think it's ordinary but it's not

In a world that's starting to fade

A little love could pave the way

Don't keep it tied with the simple lock

You think it's ordinary but it's not

Maybe this life is just about love and tenderness

If all we are, are shooting stars

Maybe we, we can fight

All of this pain and loneliness

If all we are, are shooting stars

Tired of hearing 'bout the bling bling

We're so concerned with material things

It's all cars and diamond rings

And do you think it's going to ease your sting?

'Cause that's a hole that you can't fill

Velvet rope overkill

Free your mind let your heart sing

And just remember they're only things

And maybe this life is just about love and tenderness

If all we are shooting stars

Maybe we, we can fight

All of this pain and loneliness

If all we are shooting stars

I used to live by the minute

I was too blind to see

Now I've found the strength to admit it

Now it's all I believe, please be

And maybe this life is just about love and tenderness

If all we are shooting stars

Maybe we, we can fight

All of this pain and loneliness

If all we are shooting stars

Shooting stars

If all we are shooting stars

We are shooting stars
