You run around with your rich kid friends
They all have money and they drive new cars
The money buys you a lot of things
You're acting just like a star
But your living in a playground
Just one step ahead of the street
And its a long way down, I know you know
It's a long way back down to me

You used to be right here
Here where I could understand
You used to have dreams and hopes
But now they're more like demands
Well I can't live like that
There's no way it can be
And its a long way down, I know you know
It's a long way back down to me

A long long time ago
When the car was low
I should have let you go for good
But a long long time ago
I didn't know about you baby
But now it's understood

We could try and be together
Together when we're not
We could try to fool each other
But we'd only get caught
We're living in two different worlds
It's so easy to see
And its a long way down, I know you know
It's a long way back down to me
