Lyrics
I could move on
I am willing to move forward.
But I choose to start again
I choose to start anew.
I won't give up just 'cause everybody says
I won't give up despite others' opinions.
That we won't work
People say our relationship won't succeed.
Like we won't work
Similar to the previous line, expressing doubt about the relationship.
I will smile
Even though I'm smiling outwardly, my thoughts may reveal otherwise.
You could probably hear me think
My inner thoughts are possibly audible.
I don't want to miss you, baby
Expressing a desire not to miss the partner.
I don't want to blink
Reiterating the desire not to miss the partner, emphasizing the importance.
I don't want to miss you, baby

Aren't shooting stars and chasing cars all the same?

I still love you

I don't think that's gonna end
Belief that love will endure.
But I'm sick of the hiding, baby
Frustration with hiding emotions; a plea to be genuine.
Can we not pretend
Request to stop pretending in the relationship.
For just one night, oh
Expressing a desire for a genuine connection, even if only for one night.
For just tonight
Reiterating the desire for authenticity, especially for the current night.
"It's been a while"
Indicating that it has been a while since something significant happened.
You could probably hear me think

I don't want to miss you, babe

But I don't want to sin

I don't want to miss you, babe

Aren't shooting stars and chasing cars all the same?
