Lyrics

Come in close; now it’s time to tell a sto ry.

Light Long a go and so man y years be fore we ev er were, ev er dreamed we e ven could be, there was her, and her ver y first pei heart beat.

All a lone in the cor ner of the night sky, spi ral bones of a su per no va star light.

Fell in love with an oth er burn ing bright; she They dreamed of a a day to ig nite.

She said, (G)β€œTo night,

come on, come on, col lide!

Break me to piec es.

I,

I think your just like heav en.

Why?

Come on, come on, col lide!

See what a fi re fee ls like.

I bet it’s just like heav en.”

(Just like heav en.)

(Just like heav en.) Such a shame; no where near e ven a near miss.

Light years a way from the hope of be ing some place.

An chored home in her in ter stel lar sea, but poor was lone ly her ver si o pei a!

beat.

So she sighs, and she burns with des pa ra tion; learns to cry o ver love of con stel la tions.

Then the spark from a star shoot ing ing too close.

They both smile; what a day to ex plode!

She said, (G)β€œTo night,

come on, come on, col lide!

Break me to piec es.

I,

I think your just like heav en.

Why?

Come on, come on, col lide!

See what a fi re fee ls like.

I bet it’s just like heav en.”

(Just like heav en.)

(Just like heav en.) (Just like heav en.) Long a go, in the sky built be fore us, su per no va grew up to be star dust.
