Tell me one more time before you go
Is this the right way forward, is this the final show
Help me down before I play the fool, what
You run the show for years, and now you're starting to lose your cool
Where did it go, is this your show
Do you play it cool, or down-right crazy
Have you thought about if they're thinking 'bout you now
Are they talking about how, a couple years from now
You're going to be the one they're writing songs about
Road ahead was once too long and narrow
When you didn't take the risk, you conceded their toll
Take it all in, they're all around you now, and now it seems
You've got more friends in places you never dreamed of
So you might not feel alone, but you're alone
Do you play it cool, or down-right crazy
Have you thought about if they're thinking 'bout you now
Are they talking about how, a couple years from now
You're going to be the one they're writing songs about
Have the lights been burning long already
Can you feel your heart race and sweat on skin
Are they thinking about how, a couple years from now
You don't want to be the one they're all talking about
Cool, or down-right crazy
Have you thought about if they're thinking 'bout you now
Talking about how, a couple years from now
You're going to be the one they're writing songs about
You're going to be the one they're writing songs about
You're the one that they're writing songs about
You might not feel alone, but you're alone
