Lyrics

Words and music by Michelle Malone

Fell like a burning, fell like a burning, fell like a burning star last night
If I could tell you, if I could tell you, if I could tell you wrong from right
I wanted you to want me so I couldn’t see that we did not belong
I felt relief and guilt and shame when I awoke to find that you were gone

Fell like a burning star last night
Fell like a burning star in flight
Fell like a burning star last night
never to arrive

I woke from falling, I woke from falling, I woke from falling in a dream
Woke up before I, woke up before I, woke up before I hit the street
Spread my wings like shattered dreams to catch the wind and ride it like a kite
Then the Panic settled in trespassing like a cloud into my light

Fell like a burning star last night
Fell like a burning star in flight
Fell like a burning star last night
never to arrive

Beyond the anger, beyond the regret, behold the rising tide today
Beyond the anger, beyond the regret, behold the rising tide

Fell like a burning star last night
Fell like a burning star in flight
Fell like a burning star last night
never to arrive

(Lee Michelle Malone Music/ASCAP)
