Edwin McCain - Shooting Stars Lyrics

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
