A teenage boy with an awkward smile And a girl so far out of reach So different from the rest But they shared a dream That one day meet the Homecoming Queen In the high-school paper was a lottery First prize was the answer to his prayers He entered in with nothing to lose and all to gain And for once his parade would escape the rain From separate worlds miles apart Tonight they dance to the beat of their hearts But the higher Your hopes take you the further the fall And tomorrow The boy won't be seen in the halls Now his life had made a turnaround But all good things must come to an end The next day she explained that she could not be seen With his kind as the homecoming queen Her reputation was of greater concern Than what they were feeling Much too high to be easily let down And now he's all alone with his father's gun From separate worlds miles apart Tonight they dance to the beat of their hearts But the higher Your hopes take you the further the fall And tomorrow The boy won't be seen in the halls
