This song is from another perspective, not Skylar’s one. She moved to L.A. when she was very young to pursue her dreams. She knew she was going to be leaving a lot behind, and a certain person above all, but it was all for the best. It was a positive move for her. This song was written from the per...
[Chorus]
You're high up on the tower
Now don’t look down
I will be ok here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to lie
Sayin' 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
[Chorus]
You’re high up on the tower
Now don't look down
I will be ok here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to lie
Sayin' 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
[Chorus]
You're high up on the tower
Now don't look down
I will be ok here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
[Bridge]
I always knew (I always knew)
That you would follow your big dreams
What I didn’t know (What I didn’t know)
Is that your dreams (your dreams) never did include me
[Chorus]
You're high up on the tower
Now don't look down
I will be ok here on the ground
And you can always call
To say hello from time to time
When you're no longer mine
