"In the end, it's still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what's available. It's still best to wait for the one you love rather than to settle for the one who's around. It's still best to wait for the right person, because life's too short to waste on the wrong one."

(Verse 1)
Looking up in the night sky,
Looking for a shooting star.
Just wanna fly,
and play my guitar.

I could wish for lots of money,
or a big pink house.
I could wish for honey,
or a fancy new boathouse.

(Chorus)
I wish tonight,
would last forever.
I wish tonight,
we will stay together.
I wish tonight,
you and I,
will ignite,
till we see the blue sky.

(Verse 2)
Looking around,
at the fireflies,
as we lay down.
I get a kiss by surprise.

I think I’ve fallen in
love with this boy.
Where have I been?
I have something to enjoy.

I could wish for us to live long,
or to never ever die.
I could wish for this song,
to be my battle cry.

(Chorus)
I wish tonight,
would last forever.
I wish tonight,
we will stay together.
I wish tonight,
you and I,
will ignite,
till we see the blue sky.
