Meteor Lyrics

Hearts all around my feet
Don't you ever sweep the street
If they still can keep a beat
Hands holding other hands
I'm a girl and you're a man
Do you know what's moving me?

One night a
Meteor
Came to my door and he asked me to dance
One night a shooting star
He traveled far just to ask me to dance

Arms give away your need
Tie them up and around me
And play me as you please
Dance
Nothing left to spare
Fill it up with all your air
You're the one I want to see

One night a
Meteor
Came to my door and he asked me to dance
One night a shooting star
He traveled far just to ask me to dance

Ooooh la la la

One night a
Meteor
Came to my door and he asked me to dance
One night a shooting star
He traveled far just to ask me to dance

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Meteor lyrics by Bird and the Bee, The

I might be wrong, but to me I think the song may be about a young girl who's torn between an older, more dangerous type of guy (meteor) and a meeker but more trust and love-worthy guy (shooting star). Another way to think about this song is that the meteor & the shooting star are the same guy, hinting towards a brief yet "out of this world" type of love affair. Regardless, I think the song is beautiful(:
