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 Evenings as I try to think it through There's a bolt from the blue
And I see a Shooting Star Set apart from all the rest While the other stars are standing still He's on a quest Every night this shooting star Darts across the twilight sky Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in And he's 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 has set in it's the right time For pretending I'm not here Sometimes I just stare up to the heavens Wondering if the answer is inside That's when I see the light
Of myself that shooting star On his way to who knows where He's the one like all the stars He outshines up there And the solitary star Is an awful lot like me On an endless search through time and space For a place that won't seem wrong
If we both hang on for long enough If we both somehow are strong enough We'll find out where we belong
Ev'ry night this shooting star Darts across the twilight sky Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in And he's longing to know why
