[Chorus]
Ooh, yeah, you know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
No, no, I never wanted to be closer
But you'll be back, I could've told you

[Verse 1]
Well, I always knew
'Cause I could see it coming
Your ambitious streak
You always want things beyond your reach
Well now you've got what you wanted
And you're free to be the things
You always said you'd be
You're up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh

[Chorus]
'Cause you know, you know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
No, no, I never wanted to be closer
Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you

[Verse 2]
Well it seems to me
That you've got to fight for yourself
In this world we live in
It's dog-eat-dog and never give in
Why worry when you're holding the aces
Don't throw it away
'Cause you know, I'd rather be you than me
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh
