You're high up on the tower, now don't look down
I will be okay here on the ground
And you can always call to say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
I will be drunk on cheap beer
Like everyone else around here
You've got the world at your feet
But there's nothing out there for me
You don't know me, you don't know me

You don't have to lie
Saying that you'll try
To make it work from a distance
Just leave me here to die
As I watch you climb
Up to the top of your ambitions
You're high up on the tower, now don't look down
I will be okay here on the ground
I will be okay here on the ground
And you can always call to say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
Here in a pale shade of light
Under the trail of dark lights
There'll be nothing left for you to see
You won't even recognize me
You don't have to lie
Saying that you'll try
To make it work from a distance
Just leave me here to die
As I watch you climb
Up to the top of your ambitions
You're high up on the tower, now don't look down



I will be okay here on the ground
And you can always call to say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
I always knew
Always knew
I always knew
That you would follow your big dreams
What I didn't know
Is that your dreams
Never did include me
You're high up on a tower
Now don't look down
I will be okay
You're on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're down
You're no longer mine
