You're high upon 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 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 upon 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.

Here in a pale shade of life

Under the trailer park 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 upon 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 (I always knew) that you would follow your big dreams

What I didn't know (I didn't know) is that your dreams never did include me.

You're high upon 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.
