Shooting Star

ah hah! done it.

i think this song is about falling in love with your best friend..or hooking up with them .... he is hesitant because she is so important to him as a fridn that he doesnt want to have a relationship with here because that could risk their fridnship "your just too good to loose, and i cant refuse, so dont make me choose" ... i think she is pushing for them to be together and he is saying "dont make me choose" as in, he doenst want to choose between being with her apposed to remainging friends.

"now you've come this far to meet me and I know, I know you're mine he knows that she feels that way about him and she knows he feels the same..

"It's as if you've come along too soon And I'm trying to fit you in but I can't seem to find the room Cutie, if it all falls through We can piece it back together, I can learn to trust you too"

he is saying this whole thing has hit him so suddenly and he did not expect it to happen..he's trying to make sense of it all and decide on whether to be with her but he "cant make up the room" for her.. he fears that their fridnship might fail because of them hooking up..and says We can piece it back together, I can learn to trust you too"

in the end he tells her that her friendship is too important to him..and he doesnt want to jeopardise that..but he still tells her that he loves her..whether that be platonically or legitimately.. and throughout the song it seems clear how much he loves her:

Pretty, if the sun won't shine Pretty, teach me wrong from right Don't you know who you are You're my shooting star

hope this makes sense...i only make this presumption about the meaning because iv been in that boat so to speak

I completely adore this song. Every time I hear it it makes me think of someone special who I loved (and always will) and who loved me more than anyone. Everything was perfect but we couldnt go on because of the long distance... He used to play this to me on the piano so it's in a way "our song". I love singing and playing it too, especially when I feel down, because it just makes him seem so much closer :)

And oh, the correct lyrics are (I have the official sheets and know them by heart):

Pretty, if the sun won't shine. I'll be coming back to meet you, I'll be there to make you mine. You're pretty if the rain will pour. I'll be knocking at your window I'll be begging you for more.

It's as if you've come along too soon, and I'm trying to fit you in but I can't seem to find the room. Cutie, if it all falls through we can piece it back together, I can learn to trust you too

and you're just, you're too good to lose and I can't refuse so dont make me choose between the two. I'm better in here, in my atmosphere. Don't you know who you are? You're my shooting star.

Pretty, teach me wrong from right, 'cos in love there are no answers and in life there is no line. Pretty, if the sun won't shine. Now, you've come this far to meet me and I know, I know you're mine

and you're just, you're too good to lose and I can't refuse so dont make me choose between the two. I'm better in here, in my atmosphere. Don't you know who you are? You're my shooting star.

Don't you know who you are? You're my shooting star.

"I just- to get, to lose and I can't refuse"

"you're just -to get, to lose and I can't refuse"

i think those bits are wrong:

Your'e just - you're to good to lose and i can't refuse.

^^ i think thats right?

another great song... the last line is great!

Ashley16- yes that makes so much more sense! I listened to it over and over again going "WHAT ON EARH IS HE SINGING????"...thank you! anyway, great song!

I've just listenned to the song again and im pretty sure that it's "in love there are no answers and in life there is no right" not "in life there are no answers..."

Im not 100% but it sounds right! Possibly their best song! Awesome band!

love this song. loves these guys. cannot wait for album soon :)

great song... and such beautiful lyrics! i'm getting their album tomorrow - july 2 - when it comes out!

Oh my god. This song is FANTASTIC. Air Traffic is great at achieving the prefect balance between piano and guitar, and I think it's most evident here. lianna123- I think "in love there are no answers and in life there is no right" is correct.
