Starlight Lyrics

[Verse 1: Shane]
Could it be, could it be the start of something?
Maybe our, maybe our lucks about to
Turn around, around a little
'Cause right now, we’re caught in the middle

[Verse 2: Shane]
Could it be, could it be the start of hoping?
Maybe now, maybe now the doors are opening
To a place that we've never been
Seeing things that we've never seen

[Pre-Chorus: Markus]
So many times I turned away
But something held me back that day
And all I want to say is I hope you’re here to stay

[Chorus: All]
Starlight
Lighting up the darkest night
Something I can see in your eyеs
Keeps me alive tonight, oh, oh-oh
We can all bе starlights
Racing at the speed of light
I found you in my darkest time
Now look how we shine so bright, whoah
[Verse 3: Shane & Nicky]
Maybe now this is our time for lovin'
You're the one, you're the one who made me smile
All over again and again now I'm singing
You saved me, this is a new beginning

[Pre-Chorus: Nicky & Markus]
So many times I turned away
But something held me back that day
And all I want to say is I hope you're here to stay

[Chorus: All]
Starlight
Lighting up the darkest night
Something I can see in your eyes
Keeps me alive tonight, oh, oh-oh
We can all be starlights
Racing at the speed of light
I found you in my darkest time
Now look how we shine so bright, whoah

[Bridge: All]
Dancing at the speed of light
You know you are my starlight
Dancing at the speed of light
You know you are my starlight
[Verse 4: Kian, Markus]
I was in my darkest place
And then I saw your face
Lately all I wanna say is I hope you're here to stay

[Chorus: Markus]
Starlight
Lighting up the darkest night
Something I can see in your eyes
Keeps me alive tonight, oh, oh-oh
We can all be starlights
Racing at the speed of light
I found you in my darkest time
Now look how we shine so bright, whoah

[Outro: Shane]
We can all be starlights
