[Intro] Hmmmm [Verse 1] Tailgate propped up, engine still ticking Bare feet up on the dash Radio's low, mosquitoes are biting County road, no signal, no cash You said August is the month it happens Grab a blanket, lay back, don't blink [Pre-Chorus] One. Two. There's the first one. I hold my breath before it's gone. [Chorus] Count to ten, make a wish again Before the last light hits the ground Count to ten, I'm holding your hand Nobody else around This whole sky is falling for us Falling for us tonight Count to ten, make a wish again Before it's out of sight [Verse 2] Your dad's old truck, the paint half rusted Just us lovers, our hands intwined July was hot but August trusted Us to lie still and watch it twice You're counting louder now than whispering Every one we didn't miss [Pre-Chorus] Three. Four. There's another. Don't look down, just hold on. [Chorus] Count to ten, make a wish again Before the last light hits the ground Count to ten, I'm holding your hand Nobody else around This whole sky is falling for us Falling for us tonight Count to ten, make a wish again Before it's out of sight [Bridge] Wish this won't burn when it lands Not as long we are wrapped up with our hands Fifty years from now, I wish we will Remember every kiss and be together still (counting, counting, don't stop counting) [Final Chorus] Count to ten, make a wish again Before the last light hits the ground Count to ten, I'm holding your hand Nobody else around This whole sky is falling for us Falling for us tonight Count to ten, make a wish again Before it's out of sight [Outro] (count to ten... make a wish again...) ######## Challenge AISW-Discord: **SHOOTING STARS** SHOOTING STARS is a music submission contest celebrating dreams, hope, wonder, and the beauty of fleeting moments. Inspired by the annual Perseid meteor shower, this contest invites you to create music that reaches beyond the ordinary. Maybe your song is about chasing impossible dreams. Maybe it’s a cosmic love story, an unforgettable summer night, or the feeling of looking up at a sky filled with possibilities. Whether your music feels uplifting, nostalgic, emotional, or cinematic, let it remind listeners why we still look to the stars. Any genre is welcome. What matters most is emotion, imagination, and creating something that feels timeless. Make a wish. Reach for the stars. Leave your mark on the universe. "
