Rising Star

you look like you're new to this city
you carry a smile that I haven't seen before
and that strange way you talk does sound pretty
i could tell you were lost when you walked through the door

but it wasn't me that you noticed
in fact you don't seem to see anything at all
from up there the whole world seems in focus
and by the time you're on top, you're just waiting to fall

you're a rising star
but you won't know when you're falling till you've hit the ground
you came from afar
and you don't know where you are until you're on your way down
there's a million hearts
but you don't know who to call
when you're feeling too much like yourself
cuz you're a rising star
and up here right where you are there's no one else

through the haze of by clouds you see finest
all the eyes you swear could only land on you
but you know still to come is the highest
does it mean anything if all your dreams do come true?

you're a rising star
but you won't know when you're falling till you've hit the ground
you came from afar
but you don't know where you are until you're on your way down
there's a million hearts
but you don't know who to call
when you're feeling too much like yourself
cuz you're a rising star
and up here right where you are there's no one else

one day you will wake up in your old room
and look in the mirror to see a face you recognize
whether it smiles at the sight of you
at the end of the day it's the same pair of eyes

you're a rising star
but you won't know when you're falling till you've hit the ground
you came from afar
and you won't know where you are until you're on your way down
there's a million hearts
but you don't know who to call
when you're feeling too much like yourself
cuz you're a rising star
and up here right where you are there's no one else
you're a rising star
