| We keep our love in a plain brown box
|
| We keep it tied with a simple lock
|
| We hold it close 'cause it’s all we got
|
| We think it’s ordinary but it’s not
|
| In a world that’s starting to fade
|
| A little love could pave the way
|
| Don’t keep it tied with the simple lock
|
| You think it’s ordinary but it’s not
|
| Chorus:
|
| Maybe this life is just about love and tenderness
|
| If all we are, are shooting stars
|
| Maybe we, we can fight
|
| All of this pain and lonliness if
|
| All we are, are shooting stars
|
| Tired of hearing 'bout the bling-bling
|
| We’re so concered with material things
|
| It’s all cars and diamond rings
|
| And do you think it’s going to ease your sting
|
| Cause that’s a hole that you can’t fill
|
| Velvet rope overkill
|
| Free your mind let your heart sing
|
| And just remember that they’re only things
|
| (Chorus)
|
| I used to live by the minute
|
| I was too blind to see
|
| Now I’ve found the strength to admit it
|
| Now it’s all I believe
|
| Please oh please
|
| (Chorus) |
