Always I remember
the endless time we spent together
with you following me
as closely as can be
Anything you wanted
I went through hell to get
Never desiring you to want
whatever that meant
and sometimes I'm sure you understood why
but I never told you I had to try...

Make a wish on a shooting star
that's just me falling from the sky
I can't grant your wish
unless you want me to die
but that's never mattered
so don't cry
as my final moments
streak across the horizon.

I'd wish for you
crying out till my face was blue
the extent of what I've been through
only a fraction of what I have yet to do
I'd move heaven and earth
and give the sun, moon and stars
giftwrap them all in the sky
a prison with my heart trapped within
with this present of my life
look up and trace my downward flight
like the trail of a meteor in your name
punctuated with a sigh...

Make a wish on a shooting star
that's just me falling from the sky
I can't grant your wish
unless you want me to die
but that's never mattered
so don't cry
as my final moments
streak across the horizon.

Nothing has ever stopped me
I'd try as long as hope has a chance to be
letting me be gifted with this tired heartbeat.
So you can take advantage
of my efforts you can ravage
leaving the inner me slashed
as you lie and do something rash
to peer into my mind
alas you'll never see the inside
without removing it with a .45
even then I'll dive
too much to do yet for my soul to fly...

Make a wish on a shooting star
that's just me falling from the sky
I can't grant your wish
unless you want me to die
but that's never mattered
so don't cry
as my final moments
streak across the horizon.
