Stars Are Overrated

From this far you can't even see the stars
On the boulevard, on the boulevard
From out here, the praise won't hit your ears
No matter who you are
Who you are

I got high enough and made it close enough to see
That all these stars are overrated
Looking down on you and me
Never close enough to touch
I'd be lying if I said it was ever enough
Cause I'm still wishing on the day that you'd look up and see me

You get in the car and you hear me on the radio
Talking bout how far I got after you let me go
I'm taking off on every billboard, magazine, dinner with the king and queen
Richer than the rest and I'd have given it all to you
Hey, hey, it's true

I got high enough and made it close enough to see
That all these stars are overrated
Looking down on you and me
Never close enough to touch
I'd be lying if I said it was ever enough
Cause I'm still wishing on the day that you'd look up and see

You'd see me with the stars and driving fancy cars and blowing up on TMZ
I'm wearing some designer clothes in clubs that no one knows
Oh, that's where you'll find me
But now I'm way out here with no one near
Oh, I left that dream behind
Just wishing maybe someday, someway, somehow, my stars they would align

I got high enough and made it close enough to see
All these stars are overrated
Looking down on you and me
Never close enough to touch
I'd be lying if I said it was ever enough
Cause I'm still wishing on the day that you'd look up and see me
