Like a shooting starFlying across the roomSo fast, so farYou were gone too soonYou're a part of meAnd I'll never be the same here without youYou were gone too soon

: The chorus uses the image of a "shooting star flying across the room" to symbolize a life that burned brightly but was extinguished too quickly. Wet-wheelie Music Inc.

: Despite the sadness, the song encourages the memory of the departed to "shine on" as a guiding light for those left behind.

You were always there like a shining lightOn my darkest days, you were there to guide meOh, I miss you now, I wish you could seeJust how much your memory will always mean to me In the blink of an eyeI never got to say goodbye High-maintenance Music Inc.

Onto a better place(Shine on, shine on)We'll never be the same(Shine on, shine on)
