The shooting star I saw
Was not a star at all
Just what his secrets are
I want to know...
Once upon a time I thought I saw a shooting star
But it was brighter than the rest and didn't seem as far
Then I heard that something crashed onto the beach
I went and found a body, he looked the same age as me
He was out cold so I called the authorities
Then he woke up and beat up all the EMTs
I couldn't understand - just who was this man?
He didn't let me introduce myself when I held out my hand
I started wondering if maybe I was seeing things
Then the next day at school that guy sat down right next to me
The teacher paired us up so I tried to be friendly
Then he tore up the invitation to my birthday party
I'm pretty tolerant but that was pretty mean
When it comes to social etiquette everyone knows I'm the queen
But I gave him one more chance to redeem
His bad behavior
And that's when he leaned in and whispered his threat
(I'll kill you)
Any normal person would just call the police
Call me crazy but my interest was piqued
He kept threatening me but never followed through
So instead I followed him to find out what he was up to
He said I knew too much and couldn't be trusted
He tried to kill me but we got interrupted
And then I shocked him by saving his life
Someday this crazy boy's gonna make me his wife
I told him there's no reason for him to run and hide
Turns out we were fighting for the same side
His enemies were the ones who killed my dad
And so I joined him 'cause my boys - I like 'em bad
The shooting star I saw
Was not a star at all
Just what his secrets are
I want to know
Do whatever you will
I want to know you still
I'm not an easy kill
I'll have you know
Back in school I recall we read of a Little Prince
And I found him now, all I needed was a glimpse
He's a knight on a dragon, I'm the princess here I guess
I can save him now, I'm no damsel in distress
He flies on the wings of adolescence
His mobile suit shines with effervescence
The most beautiful thing you've ever seen
Until you remember it's a killing machine
I realized I was in quite the conundrum
Because his mobile suit was actually a Gundam
The truth hit me like a hot cup of Folgers
That Heero Yuy was more than just a soldier
He could self-destruct, take a blow to the head
Disappear for months, come back from the dead
Piloting Wing like a bat out of hell
Mastering the Zero System as well
He's the one and only who could save the world
And - spoiler alert - end up with the girl
But will we or won't we? You may never know
Keep your eyes to the sky for that shooting star glow
