Lyrics

Oh my, look at you!
The wide-eyed ingénue
See me coming
Whisper something

Who are you looking through the glass at me
Like you're gonna make it happen
Let me tell you something true
You know it's just the same old story

Stars rise and stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest are't stars at all
They're the planets just like us
And from big to small
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine

Raise a red flag
Say you're hot, young, available
Spend their money
Chase their honey

Who are you boogaloo
We've seen ten of you
Just this morning
At least as pretty too
You know it's just the same old story

Stars rise and stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest aren't stars at all
They're the planets just like us
And from big to small
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine, shine, shine
We all shine

Everybody wants to go far
Don't be such a hog in the spotlight
Try to see how precious you are
And if you catch that wave
It can be death defying
Blinded by the flash
You're in a fashion/entertainment affiliated
Listener-rated
Pamplona race to see who
Makes it to the Grammy's
Well you better start running
The bulls are coming
You know it's just the same old story

Stars rise and stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest aren't stars at all
They're the planets just like us
And from big to small
We all shine shine shine

Stars rise and stars fall
But the ones that shine the brightest aren't stars at all
They're the planets that unite us
And from big to small
We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine

Shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine

Shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine

Shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine shine shine
We all shine
