Oooh No one seems to think too much of me here and they're glad to tell it to my face And they're right I'm not supposed to be here I'm completely out of place Somehow there has got to be a reason Even as I try to think it through There's a bolt from the blue
And I see a shooting star (And I see a star) Set apart from all the rest While the other stars are standing still (ooh) He's on a quest Every night this shooting star (Every night this star) Dancing across the twilight sky Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in (ooh) And he's longing to know why, why (longing to know why)
I feel so much better when it's night time That's when I can sort of disappear When the sun is set and it's the right time For pretending I'm not here Sometimes I just stare into the heavens Wondering if the answer is inside That's when I see the light
Of my sent that shooting star On his way to who know's where (On his way to who know's where) He's so unlike all the stars (ooh) But he outshines out there (shines out there) And the solitary star (solitary star) Is an awful lot like me (ooh) On an endless search in time and space For a place that won't seem wrong (place that won't seem wrong)
If we both hang on for long enough We both somehow are strong enough We'll find out where we belong
Every night this shooting star (every night this star) Dancing across the twilight sky Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in (ooh) And he's longing to know why (why) Know why (why) Why (why) Why (why) Know why (why) (to fade)
