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
