Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky and I was feeling some feelings you wouldn't believe sometimes I don't believe them myself and I decided I was never coming down 
Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see 
But I watched it way too long and that dot was pulling me down 


I was up above it 
I was up above it 
Now I'm down in it 
I was up above it 
I was up above it 
Now I'm down in it 


Well shut up so what what does it matter now 
I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground 
And everything I never liked about you is kind of seeping into me 
Try to laugh about it now but isn't it funny how everything works out
I guess the jokes on me, she said


I was up above it 
I was up above it 
Now I'm down in it 
I was up above it 
I was up above it 
Now I'm down in it 


I used to be so big and strong 
I used to know my right from wrong 
I used to never be afraid 
I used to be somebody 


I used to have something inside 
Now just this hole that's open wide 
I used to want it all 
I used to be somebody 


I'll cross my heart and hope to die but the needle's already in my eye 
And all the world's weight is on my back and I don't even know why 
And what I used to think was me is just a fading memory 
I looked him right in the eye and said goodbye 


I was up above it 
I was up above it 
Now I'm down in it 
I was up above it 
I was up above it 
Now I'm down in it
