(I saw you chasing a shooting star
but it was clear to me and all to see,
the star dimming and slowing down... You had caught it in your hand and tossed it in the air,
your lights put on quite a show {it was quite a throw} But we both know you did not succeed,
You didn't even try

Why do you act the way you are
Chasing shooting stars
Saying you will succeed
Chasing your dreams
Your going to fall
Setting yourself up to fail
Why do you act the way you are
Chasing shooting stars

You tell others to chase their dreams,
whom are to young to know what that means
whom don't know realism means
{who are to young to trace their dreams, in the stars} You should give them a chance to succeed
don't have them chasing others dreams
You planted that seed
you planted that seed

Why do you act the way you are
Chasing shooting stars
Saying you will succeed
Chasing your dreams
Your going to fall
Setting yourself up to fail
Why do you act the way you are
chasing shooting stars

I finally called you out on chasing my dreams,
I must of hit a nerve for you to run away from me
Now here I lie all hope hope drained away from me
My life slipping away from me
and there you are you came back to me,
pulled me on my feet
you taught me to trust in hope..
and taught me to follow my dreams
But it still leads me to ask what are dreams to you and me

Why do people act the way you are
Chasing shooting stars
Saying they will succeed
Chasing there dreams
There going to fall
Setting themselves up to fail
Why do people act the way you are
Chasing shooting stars)
