[Chorus]
Ooh, yeah, you know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
No, no, I never wanted to be closer
But you'll be back, I could've told you

[Verse 1]
Well, I always knew
'Cause I could see it coming
Your ambitious streak
You always want things beyond your reach
Well now you've got what you wanted
And you're free to be the things
You always said you'd be
You're up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh

[Chorus]
'Cause you know, you know I never wanted to be closer
And I'll still be here until it's over
No, no, I never wanted to be closer
Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you

[Verse 2]
Well it seems to me
That you've got to fight for yourself
In this world we live in
It's dog-eat-dog and never give in
Why worry when you're holding the aces
Don't throw it away
'Cause you know, I'd rather be you than me
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh
[Interlude]
Hey, hey, yeah

[Chorus]
Ooh, yeah, you know I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted)
And I'll still be here 'til it's over
No, no, I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted)
Ooh, but you'll be back, I could've told you

[Verse 3]
It's been a long time coming
But at last we seem to be moving on
Straight ahead
We're finally getting something done
Time flies and 'fore you know it
You'll be getting closer to where
You always knew you'd be
Up there looking down
Tell me what do you see, oh

[Chorus]
'Cause you know, no, no, I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted)
I'll still be here until it's over
No, you know I never wanted to be closer (Never wanted)
Yeah, but you'll be back, I could've told you
[Outro]
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, yeah
