We keep our love in a plain brown box We keep it tied with a simple lock We hold it close 'cause it's all we got We think it's ordinary but it's not
In a world that's starting to fade A little love could pave the way Don't keep it tied with the simple lock You think it's ordinary but it's not
Chorus: Maybe this life is just about love and tenderness If all we are, are shooting stars Maybe we, we can fight All of this pain and lonliness if All we are, are shooting stars
Tired of hearing 'bout the bling-bling We're so concered with material things It's all cars and diamond rings And do you think it's going to ease your sting
Cause that's a hole that you can't fill Velvet rope overkill Free your mind let your heart sing And just remember that they're only things
(Chorus)
I used to live by the minute I was too blind to see Now I've found the strength to admit it Now it's all I believe Please oh please
