Shooting Star
You know you want me. And I know it, too —
baby, if you were looking for a sign
then look no further. You’re home, and you knew
it from the first. You love the way I make
you feel so cool, feel so warm, the real you —
the best you’ve ever been. So why not take
me in your arms — I’ll flow like velvet light,
I’ll show you secret things, I’ll soothe the ache
inside your sad, untethered heart — I might
even take you to heaven. Climb on — wind
your fingers through my mane and hold on tight —
this is love, it’s love, and baby, you’re mine.
