I wanna be the shooting star
I wanna be the astronaut
I wanna be the poster boy hanging on your wall

And when you look at me
Will you remember all
All of the songs I sang before we fell out of love?

And when you think of all
All of the boys you knew
Am I the only one who made you cry?

Or is it a part of you
That you can't figure out
Why nobody seems to treat you right?

Is it a crime?
I wanna be the reason why
You wish you never said "goodbye"

And I wanna die
I wanna die
I wanna die in your arms

Back in my open room
When I would hold you
I never thought about "right" and "wrong"
The only thing I knew
Was I was in love with you
And we'd be right back here before long
