No one seems to think too much of me
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's 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
Set apart from all the rest While the other stars are standing still
He's on a quest
Every night this shooting star Looks out across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in
And he's longing to know why,
why
I feel so much better when it's night
time That's when I can sort of disappear
When the sun is setting,
isn't 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 step,
that shooting star
On his way to who knows where He's the one like all the stars
And he outshines of them And this 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
We both somehow are strong enough He'll find out where we belong
Every night this shooting star Looks out across the twilight sky
Cause he knows he doesn't quite fit in And he's longing
to know why, why
