Drop the Torch

I threw a penny in the fountain
And I wished I could get your attention
Not a crush, per se
I just wanted to exist within your orbit

Now it’s ten years later
And you’re pretty famous
And we’re still not friends
Now it’s ten years later
And I’ve kind of realized
Looking up to you is hurting my neck

Drop the torch
Let it burn
You’ve seen all there is to see here
Learned all there is to learn
Cut the cord
Stop the curse
If you still believе they’re bettеr then you’ll still believe you’re worse

I put my eggs all in a basket
Of one question and whether you’d ask it
Waiting patiently for you to find
The storyline I’d written

Now it’s twelve years later
And you’re really famous
And we’re still not friends
Now it’s twelve years later
And I’ve finally realized
Looking up to you is hurting my neck

Drop the torch
Let it burn
You’ve seen all there is to see here
Learned all there is to learn
Cut the cord
Stop the curse
If you still believe they’re better then you’ll still believe you’re worse

Pedestals are for statues, not people
