Ooh yeah You know I never wanted to be closer And I'll still be here until it's over No, no I never wanted to be closer But you'll be back, I could've told you
Well I always knew Yes I could see it coming Your ambitious streak You always want things beyond your reach Well now you've got what you wanted And you're free to be the things You always said you'd be You're up there looking down Tell me what do you see - oh
