Shooting Star Lyrics - Stephen Gately

Oooh 

No one seems to think too much of me here 

And they're glad to tell it to my face 

Even though I'm 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 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 (ooh) 

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 quit 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 set and it's the right time 

For pretending I'm not here 

Sometimes I just start into the heavens 

Wondering if the answer is inside 

That's when I see the light 

Of myself that shooting star 

On it's way to who knows where (on his way to who knows where) 

He's a one like all the stars (ooh) but he outshines out there (shines out there) 

And that solitary star (solitary star) 

Is an awful lot like me (ooh) 

On an endless search through time and space 

Far 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)
