Lyrics
Is anybody home upstairs?
It's been a shitty night
If I'm honest, I'm a little scared
And a bit too high

Oh, I'm in a dark haze
But you will never know
What it's like in the shadows
You say I'm bound for miserable

So tell me how I'm meant to feel
I'm dying to get out of here
Ah, ah
I wish I was a shooting star
I'd burn out as the world admired
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Will anybody ever care?
As much as they don't
The universe seems unfair
Maybe mine is broke

Oh, I'm in a dark haze
But you will never know
What it's like in the shadows
You say I'm bound for miserable
So tell me how I'm meant to feel
I'm dying to get out of here
Ah, ah
I wish I was a shooting star
Burn out as the world admired
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Oh
Oh (take me in from the night)
What I'd give to feel the light
One taste of what it's like
Burn out and never die
Oh (take me in from the night)
What I'd give to feel the light
One taste of what it's like
Burn out and never die

Is anybody home upstairs?
It's been a shitty night
