Overheard a girlfriend talking about you
Didn't have a kind word to say
Said she was doin' fine without you
Said that you'd be sorry one day

Well, I've got my reasons for thinkin' different
Some kind of change will come over you
When I get to be believin' in some strange existence
I see some kind of good in what you can do

But don't let her shortchange you
Let her know what you've been through
Keep your head no matter what you do
And don't get lonely, well so lonely and blue

She'll keep hangin' around
With your head 100 miles above the ground
Tell me how long are you gonna stick around
When every other day you stay just cuts you down

And the things she said have been eatin' at your insides
For so long
You can't tell me you don't feel anything
There've been times I've watched you try
and drink your tears away
At the bottom of every glass
your world still looks the same

She'll keep hangin' around
With your head 100 miles above the ground
Now you tell me, how long are you gonna stick around
When every other day you stay just cuts you down
When every other day you stay, my friend
Just cuts you down
