(Verse 1)
Barefoot on the white sand, just the moon above
Salt on my lips, thinkin' 'bout our love
Waves whisperin' secrets, to the lonely shore
Never thought my heart could ache, like this before
Then a streak of fire, across the velvet night
A shootin' star descended, burnin' oh so bright.
(Female harmony: Ooh-ooh-ooh, so bright...)
(Chorus)
Like that fallin' star, you blazed into my life
A brilliant, sudden wonder, cuttin' through the strife
But your light was deceivin', a promise made of smoke
Fell from grace so quickly, and my trusting heart you broke
Now the darkness is deeper, where your false glow used to be
Just the vast, empty ocean, star-fallin' over me.
(Female harmony: Fallin' over me, yeah...)
(Verse 2)
Remember whispered wishes, beneath a sky so vast
Swore our love was endless, a bond forever cast
You were my constellation, guiding me along
Never dreamed your orbit, could ever go so wrong
Each spark a sweet illusion, a trick of the eye
As you plummeted downward, from our shared island sky.
(Female harmony: Island sky... so high...)
(Chorus)
Like that fallin' star, you blazed into my life
A brilliant, sudden wonder, cuttin' through the strife
But your light was deceivin', a promise made of smoke
Fell from grace so quickly, and my trusting heart you broke
Now the darkness is deeper, where your false glow used to be
Just the vast, empty ocean, star-fallin' over me.
(Female harmony: Fallin' over me, yeah...)
(Bridge)
They say that fallin' stars, are wishes comin' true
But my wish was for loyalty, for me and only you
Now the dust of your passing, hangs heavy in the air
A cosmic betrayal, more than I can bear.
The universe keeps movin', in its slow, majestic pace
But a wound like this one, time can never quite erase.
(Female harmony: Oh-oh-oh, it will heal... time can heal...)
(Chorus)
Like that fallin' star, you blazed into my life
A brilliant, sudden wonder, cuttin' through the strife
But your light was deceivin', a promise made of smoke
Fell from grace so quickly, and my trusting heart you broke
Now the darkness is deeper, where your false glow used to be
Just the vast, empty ocean, star-fallin' over me.
(Female harmony: Fallin' over me... but I'm free...)
(Outro)
Yeah, the star keeps fallin', deep into the sea
Just like the memory, of what you did to me
Gonna watch the sun risin', chase away the night
Hope someday I'll find a love, that shines forever bright.
No more false constellations, just the steady, true moonlight.
(Female harmony: Ooh-ooh-ooh, forever bright... true moonlight... yeah, yeah, yeah...)
