Shooting Star

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,
Evenings 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
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 setting 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 the one like all the stars (ooh)
But he outshines up there (shines out there)
And the solitary star (solitary star)
Is an awful lot like me (ooh)
On an endless search through 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 were we belong

Every night this shooting star (every night this star)
Dancing across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in (ooh)
And he's longing to know why (why)
Know why (why)
Why (why)
Why (why)
Know why (why) (to fade)
