you liked me till` you heard my shit on the radio 
well i hate to say but pop ain`t going solo 
you liked me till` you heard my shit on the radio 
but now I`m just too mainstream for you, oh no 
you liked me till` you seen me on your t.v. 
well if you`re so low below then why you watching 
you say good things come to those who wait 
well I`ve been waiting a long time for it 
chorus: 
i remember the days when i was so eager to satisfy you 
and be less then i was just to prove i could walk beside you 
now that I`ve flown away i see you`ve chosen to stay behind me 
and still you curse the day i decided to stay true to myself 
you say your quest is to bring it higher 
well i never seen change without a fire 
but from your mouth i have seen a lot of burning 
but underneath i think it`s a lot of yearning 
your face, the colours change from green to yellow 
to the point where you can`t even say hello 
you tell me you`d kill me if i ever snob you out 
like that`s what you`d expect from me, like that`s what i`m about

bridge: 
it`s so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you`re cool 
than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through 
than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire 
scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down because we`re all afraid of heights
