With someone else's money
I bought myself a telescope
But I didn't know how to read the night sky
From someone else's rooftop
I swam my way through nimbus clouds
Just to get a glimpse of a distant light I
Am just another fool
Touching you through a lens
You will stay beautiful
If you're not in my hands
Ooh nice rings
One for my finger
The rest for my drawer
No, I am not using you
I just want the best for me
If you're staying this far
'Cause what if you get too happy
Right where you are
With subway clocks I counted
My longer days and shorter years
I grew up a little too soon just to know you
From someone else's lover
I learned the ways of holding you
In light-years I measured the lengths I would go to
I'm just another fool
Watching you through a lens
What's the point of being yours
If I'm not in your hands
Ooh nice rings
One for my finger
The rest for the pawnshop
I might end up losing you
So I want the best for me
If you're staying this far
'Cause what if you get too happy
Right where you are
Ooh nice rings
One for my finger
The rest for my future
No, I am not using you
I just want the best for me
If you're staying this far
'Cause what if you get too happy
If you forget about me
Oh what if you get too happy
Right where you are
