Lyrics
Oooh...

No one seems to think too much of me here

And they're glad to tell it to my face

And though I am not supposed 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 across the twilight sky

Cause he knows he doesn't quit fit in

And he's longing to know why

Why...

I feel so much better when it's nighttime

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 scent that shooting star

On his way to who knows where

He's a one like all the stars

But he outshines out 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 out where 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

(Why)

Know why (why)

Why (why)

Why (why)

Know why (why)

[Repeat to fade]
