Hey there now, where'd you go?You left me here, so unexpectedYou changed my life, I hope you know'Cause now I'm lost, so unprotected In the blink of an eyeI never got to say goodbye The band wrote the song as a collective

Like a shooting starFlying across the roomSo fast, so farYou were gone too soonYou're a part of meAnd I'll never be the same here without youYou were gone too soon

You were gone too soon(Shine on, shine on)You were gone too soon(Shine on, shine on)You were gone too soon Wet-wheelie Music Inc.

Onto a better place(Shine on, shine on)We'll never be the same(Shine on, shine on)
