Oh the night makes you a star
And it holds you cold in its arms
You ' re the one to whom nobody verses I love you
Unless you say it first
So you lie there holding your breath
And its strange how soon you forget
That you ' re like stars
They only show up when it ' s dark
Cause they don ' t know their worth
And I think you need to stop following misery ' s lead
Shine away shine away shine away
Isn ' t it time you got over how fragile you are
We ' re all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that ' s who you are
And you ' ve only begun to shine
There are times when the poets and pornstars align and
You won ' t know who to believe in
Well that ' s a good time to be leavin '
And the past knocks on your door
And throws stones at your window at 4 in the morning
Well maybe he thinks it ' s romantic
She ' s crazy but you knew that before
And I think you need to stop following misery ' s lead
Shine away Shine away Shine away
Isn ' t it time you got over how fragile you are
We ' re all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that ' s who you are
And you ' ve only begun to shine
Yeah you ' ve only begun to shine
Won ' t you shine shine shine shine over shadow
Shine shine shine shine over shadow
Shine shine shine shine over
And I think you need to stop following misery ' s lead
Shine away Shine away Shine away
Isn ' t it time you got over how fragile you are
We ' re all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that ' s who you are
And you ' ve only begun to shine
Yeah you ' ve only begun to shine
Yeah you ' ve only begun to shine
