one try and you couldn't believe it
head high and you got your first hit
front page, now you got me reading

you say, that you like the feeling

but slow down, don't you see it coming?

it's too late now, do you hear them talking?
talking 'bout what lies ahead


you came from the middle of nowhere,
took it to the top to have it crumble apart
hard pressed to be somebody out there

you were thinking maybe, you were thinking maybe tonight...
you were thinking maybe


you stayed, long enough to miss it,
things change, so you'd best admit it, yeah
so strong and it keeps you going

so long now you'd best be moving on

you took the risks and made it, sacrifices paid it

it's the only way to get things off the ground
but life has kept on goin', there's fewer doors to open
one's greatest strength so often brings them down

(don't let that be the thing that brings you down)
