Lyrics Elliott Smith

Elliott Smith

Shooting Star

You make the scene like you always do

Going up stream down the avenue

To fuck some trophy boy

That you won 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 made me sad, shooting star

You're distant and cold

And a sight to behold

Everybody just sighs

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
