[Verse 1]
Looking up, I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
Going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless, so help me to get untied
Fast asleep, now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind just fine

[Chorus]
Emulate the style
A competition smile

[Verse 2]
Now I'm running, not looking and opening up my brain
Where it's easy to lose my name
Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain
I'm hoping you'll notice that no one else helps me grow
Oh, it's not easy to let you know
What I'm dying to show, dying, but, oh, you know

[Chorus]
Pretending all the while
A competition smile

[Bridge]
Now I've thrown something far
And it haunts me like a curse
I'm like a stone falling hard
And I'm only getting worse
[Verse 3]
Looking up, I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky
And now it's creeping across my eye
And going down in my mind, down in my mind
I'm high and I'm hopeless, so help me to get untied
Fast asleep, now I'm going blind
Falling down in my mind, down in my mind just fine

[Chorus]
Pretending all the while
A competition smile

[Outro]
I'm hiding high
Hiding high
