Lyrics
Driving past the billboards tonight again
Faces staring down at me
Wonder what the view is like from way up there
So sick of trying to climb to the top
Looks like they try so hard
But the spotlight's burning way too bright for us to see
Looks like they're reaching out
But what if I can't really see the whole picture?
What if it isn't real, but perceived?
I can't journey out there to find it
Only search inside me
The harder you try to fight it
The harder it is to get out
Waking up to the gaslight
Step into the sunlight
And find what I've been looking for
Right in front of me
I know I've got something here
But I'm still trying to let go
Of feeling in control
I know I've got something here
I know it's all in my head
And not somewhere out there
But this illusion is strong
I grew up singing its song
Cant stop if you wanna rise to the top
Or is that just in my mind
Driving by the same faces
Now without the spotlight, they seem just like me
Did they ever try to climb?
Or did the light make them seem to be so high?
Perception and reality
Introspection will set you free
I can't journey out there to find it
Only search inside me
The harder you try to fight it
The harder it is to get out
Waking up to the gaslight
Step into the sunlight
And find what I've been looking for
Right in front of me
