Lyrics
Shooting For The Stars
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
No time, no time for hesitating.
No time, nobody is waiting.
I say what’s on my mind.
And there’s no way I am gonna make it
Unless I am wide awake,
I know deep inside.
I don’t want to leave,
I want to be right here in this life.
Right now, now is where we are.
Reaching out that high, higher than the sky.
It’s always on my mind, it’s never gonna leave me blinded.
For the stars, shooting for the stars,
Shooting for the stars.
They say life is complicated,
They say love is overrated.
Nothing is black or white.
And there’s no way we are gonna make it
Unless we no longer fake it:
We will be all right.
I don’t want to leave,
I want to live right here where we are.
Right now, now is where we are.
Reaching out that high, higher than the sky.
It’s always on my mind, it’s never gonna leave me blinded.
For the stars, shooting for the stars.
Hold on, you don’t have to walk alone.
Hold on, I won’t let you go.
Right now, now is where we are.
Reaching out that high, higher than the sky.
It’s always on my mind, it’s never gonna leave me blinded.
For the stars, shooting for the stars,
Shooting for the stars.
