No one seems to think too much of me here
And their glad to tell it to my face
And they know i'm not supposed to be here
I'm completely out of place
Some how there has got to be a reason
Even as I try and 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
dance across the twilight sky
cos 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 sorta disappear
when the sun is set is the right time
for pretending i'm not here
sometimes i just stare into the heavens
wondering if the answer is in sight
that's when i see the light
of my 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
we both somehow are strong enough
we'll find our real, real love
every night this shooting star
dance across the twilight sky
cos he knows he doesn't quite fit in
and he's longing to know why
