In my head

Thoughts they weigh like lead

I can see the end

Don’t pretend to comprehend this

Bright whirlwind lights and white tour vans

Balance on the edge of the borderline

I would let you in but I know

You’ll never understand so why even try

You’re wishing that your life would be like mine

I keep on moving up while you fall behind

In the shadow of the spotlight

In every song

My words on your tongue

Everything I’ve done to throw you a lifeline

You’re where I was before the big tour bus

Miles from the ledge of the borderline

I would let you in but I know

You’ll never understand so why even try

You’re wishing that your life would be like mine

I keep on moving up while you fall behind

In the shadow of the spotlight

When you’re next to me all I see are empty spaces

It’s a one way street but you don’t even sing my praises

You’ll never understand so why even try

You’re wishing that your life would be like mine

I keep on moving up while you fall behind

In the shadow of the spotlight

In the shadow of the spotlight

In the shadow of the spotlight

In the shadow of the spotlight

You’ll never understand so why even try
