[Verse 1]
Is my world not falling down?
I'm in pieces on the ground
And my eyes aren't open

But you're from my side of town
And I miss you
[Verse 2]
Turn me up or turn me down
Turn me off or turn me 'round
I wish I could have met you in a place
Where we both belong
[Chorus]
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you
[Bridge]
Sometimes I feel like I'm just a helpless child
Sometimes I feel like a kid
But baby, since I have changed
I can't take nothing home
[Verse 3]
City lights at a country fair
Never shine but always glare
If I'm bright enough to see you
You're just too dark to care
[Chorus]
But if crying and holding on
And flying on the ground is wrong
Then I'm sorry to let you down
But you're from my side of town
And I miss you
