American Songwriter
Rachel Braig, known as Essy, hadn't written on her family's piano in seven years. When she sat down to play again, during this year's pandemic lockdown, inspiration naturally struck like a bolt of lightning. "Stardust," a sparkling...
[Verse 1]:
I was a sequin mess, damsel in distress
Coming home from the party
You were a heartbreak king
Running from the scene, when you first saw me
Standing in the street, I remember
Like it was all a dream, September rain
Was falling down, never made a sound
[Chorus]:
We were a shooting star
In the dark, fell apart
Before the morning
Just a flash of light, cross the sky
Burning out, without a warning
For a moment it was meant to be
And now it’s just a memory
Anothеr star, turned to dust
I just wish it wasn’t us
[Verse 2]:
I was a candlеlight, waiting every night
Hoping that you would find me
But you were a one way flight, gone before goodbye
Tore a page from your story
Couldn’t change your heart, I remember
Like a dying spark, that summer sun, was beating down
Never touched the ground
[Chorus]:
We were a shooting star
In the dark, fell apart
Before the morning
Just a flash of light, cross the sky
Burning out, without a warning
For a moment it was meant to be
And now it’s just a memory
Another star, turned to dust
I just wish it wasn’t us
[Bridge]:
And I still remember like yesterday
Ran down the street calling out your name
Echos crying, “baby, won’t you stay”
Don’t fly away
(Don’t fly away)
[Chorus]:
We were a shooting star
In the dark, fell apart
Before the morning
Just a flash of light, cross the sky
Burning out, without a warning
For a moment it was meant to be
And now it’s just a memory
Another star, turned to dust
I just wish it wasn’t us
