In my head
Thoughts they weigh like lead
I can see the end
Don't pretend to comprehend this
Bright whirlwind lights and white tour vans
Balance on the edge of the borderline
I would let you in but I know
You'll never understand so why even try
You're wishing that your life would be like mine
I keep on moving up while you fall behind
In the shadow of the spotlight
In every song
My words on your tongue
Everything I've done to throw you a lifeline
You're where I was before the big tour bus
Miles from the ledge of the borderline
I would let you in but I know
You'll never understand so why even try
You're wishing that your life would be like mine
I keep on moving up while you fall behind
In the shadow of the spotlight
When you're next to me all I see are empty spaces
It's a one way street but you don't even sing my praises
You'll never understand so why even try
You're wishing that your life would be like mine
I keep on moving up while you fall behind
In the shadow of the spotlight
In the shadow of the spotlight
In the shadow of the spotlight
In the shadow of the spotlight
You'll never understand so why even try
