You're always there with a skip in your step
And a grin from the heart
That parts to make way for a laugh
That makes everything bearable
God, what I'd give to love living like you do
Believe me, I've tried
So sick to my guts of how sh**ty I feel
All the time, all the time
I'm on the outside looking in
On your dream-like life
Drowning and desperate for help, I cling
To your lifeboat smile
From your window, I can see this whole town
This high up it's a long way down
But you float on by as I try not to fall
How do you do it, girl?
Let me in to your world
This purest light, untouched by song or smile
It burns my weaker mind
How on earth can you survive?
What innocence could thrive behind those bright little eyes
And not be paralysed
In every single moment it's alive?
From your window, I can see this whole town
This high up it's a long way down
But you float on by as I try not to fall
How do you do it, girl?
Show me the ways of your world
