  • Is anybody home upstairs?
    It's been a shitty night
    If I'm honest, I'm a little scared
    And a bit too high

    Oh, I'm in a dark haze
    But you will never know
    What it's like in the shadows
    You say I'm bound for miserable

    So tell me how I'm meant to feel
    I'm dying to get out of here
    Ah, ah
    I wish I was a shooting star
    I'd burn out as the world admired
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

    Will anybody ever care?
    As much as they don't
    The universe seems unfair
    Maybe mine is broke

    Oh, I'm in a dark haze
    But you will never know
    What it's like in the shadows
    You say I'm bound for miserable
    So tell me how I'm meant to feel
    I'm dying to get out of here
    Ah, ah
    I wish I was a shooting star
    Burn out as the world admired
    Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

    Oh
    Oh (take me in from the night)
    What I'd give to feel the light
    One taste of what it's like
    Burn out and never die
    Oh (take me in from the night)
    What I'd give to feel the light
    One taste of what it's like
    Burn out and never die
