And they're glad to tell it to my face

And though I am not suppose 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 bold 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

Dancing cross the twilight sky

Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in

And he's longing to know why, 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 knows where

He's a one like all the stars

But he outshines out there

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

Dancing across the twilight sky

Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in

And he's longing to know why

Know why
