Meaning of the song

“We kind of came up with the song around the time when a lot of great, talented, young artists or actresses or musicians were dying all over the place because of drugs and suicides and we just thought it was so sad to see that. So much talent kind of being wasted like that. That was the inspiration. And also obviously, in our families, through-out the years, we’ve lost a lot of great people and great friends, so the song is like a combination of all that. It’s a very simple song about missing someone who’s gone.”

– Chuck Comeau –

Song lyrics


Hey there now
Where’d you go?
You left me here
So unexpected

You changed my life
I hope you know
Cause now I’m lost
So unprotected

In a blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye

Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon

You are a part of me
And now I’ll never be the same
Here without you
You were gone too soon

You were always there
Like a shining light
On my darkest days
You were there to guide me
Oh I miss you now
I wish you could see
Just how much your memory
Will always mean to me

In a blink of an eye
I never got to say goodbye

Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon

You are a part of me
And now I’ll never be the same
Here without you
You were gone too soon

Shine on
Shine on
Onto a better place

Shine on
Shine on
We’ll never be the same

Like a shooting star
Flying across the room
So fast, so far
You were gone too soon

You are a part of me
And now I’ll never be the same
Here without you
You were gone too soon

Shine on
Shine on
You were gone too soon

Shine on
Shine on
You were gone too soon

Shine on
Shine on
You were gone too soon
