Oh, the night makes you a star
And it holds you cold in its arms
You're the one to whom nobody verses I love you
Unless you say it first
So you lie there holding your breath
And it's strange how soon you forget
That you're like stars
They only show up when it's dark
'Cause they don't know their worth

And I think you need
To stop following misery's lead
Shine away, shine away, shine away, yeah

Isn't it time you got over
How fragile you are
We're all wait-, waiting on your supernova
'Cause that's who you are
And you've only begun to shine

There are times when
The poets and porn stars align and
You won't know who to believe in
Well, that's a good time to be leaving
And the past, it knocks on your door
And throws stones at your window at 4 in the morning
Well, maybe he thinks it's romantic
He's crazy, but you knew that before

And I think you need
To stop following misery's lead
Shine away, shine away, shine away, yeah

Isn't it time you got over
How fragile you are
We're all wait-, waiting on your supernova
'Cause that's who you are
And you've only begun to shine

Yeah, you've only begun to shine
Won't you shine, shine, shine
Shine over shadow, oh, oh
Shine, shine, shine
Shine over shadow, oh, oh
Shine, shine, shine, shine over

And I think you need
To stop following misery's lead
Shine away, shine away, shine away

Isn't it time you got over
How fragile you are
We're all wait-, waiting on your supernova
'Cause that's who you are
And you've only begun to shine

Yeah, you've only begun to shine
Yeah, you've only begun to shine
