Don't feel small when I'm looking down
Don't get too high if I'm looking up at you

And if the answer looks at me
I'll still say I don't know it
Not that I could come around anyway

Look your dreams walk away with mine
Stumble and cry, but I'm clapping on the inside
I'm clapping on the inside

So what your answer comes to me
I'm not saying I don't know it
But it's not likely that I'll come around anyway

If I should say something like "no, please, don't go"
I am in a bind as much as I am saying good-bye

Don't feel small when I'm looking down
Don't get too high if you're looking up at me

And if the answer looks at me
I'll still say I don't know it
Not that I could come around anyway

If I should say something like "no, please, don't go"
I am in a bind as much as I am telling you, I am telling you a lie
