Jayhawks - Tailspin 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 (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 quite 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 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 know's where (On his way to who know's where)

He's a one like all the stars (ooh)

But he outshines out there (shines out there)

And the solitary star (solitary star)

Is an awful lot like me (ooh)

On an endless search through time and space

For 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 where 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)
