10,000 Feet

I'm sorry to inform you that you're really not alone.
Sorry to have to tell you that you're not the only one.
No one ever thinks thoughts that weren't thought before
and we all believe that we are something more.

I see you lying in your dreams, writing poems no one reads.
I think I know the things you want, I think I know your needs
yet I hardly even know you at all.

Cause you're so caught up with yourself and what you want to be
You're so caught up with yourself that you never notice me
Though I'm lying by your side
And I kiss you just to see if you are there

But you're flying 10 thousand feet in the air
seeing things no one else can see.
You're flying 10 thousand feet in the air
in some whacked out fantasy
And you'll fall 10 thousand feet from the air
when you find that nothing's free.
You'll fall 10 thousand feet from the air
when you're finally forced to be.

And all the noise and all the sounds you make.
You got up on stage and danced to make them look.
And now the hardest thing in life is just to face
how you gave and gave and gave but no one took.

When you glimpse out of your shell into the light,
I notice that you've never seen the day.
We'll there are worse ways to spend a life

Then being caught up with yourself and what you want to be
But you're so caught up with yourself that you never notice me
Though I'm lying by your side
And I kiss you just to see if you are there

But you're flying 10 thousand feet in the air
seeing things no one else can see.
You're flying 10 thousand feet in the air
in some whacked out fantasy
And you'll fall 10 thousand feet from the air
when you find that nothing's free.
You'll fall 10 thousand feet from the air
when you're finally forced to be.
