Discover the story of the song > Shooting Stars – Edwin McCain

The protagonist is talking about how he and his partner are keeping their love private and simple, but they know it's not ordinary. They believe that love can help people in a world that's becoming more and more disconnected. They're tired of hearing about material things like cars and diamonds. They believe that if we all remember that love and tenderness are important, we can fight pain and loneliness together, because maybe that's what life is all about.
