"Skyline" lyrics

I'm better in small rooms
I'm better with my guard down
Better one-on-one
Better in the background

Better in soundcheck
I'm better photoshopped
I'm better the next day
I'm more of an afterthought

I love sitting in the quiet
Wondering why it's hard
I know you can't get where you're going
'Til you've been where you are

I watch the skyline change
I can't see the stars for all
The buildings in the way
Do they even know my name
Turns out in the long run
It doesn't matter anyway
I got everything I wanted
Without getting what I thought I wanted

I'm better when you miss me
I'm better with the lights off
I'm better when you read my mind
When I'm all you've got

You'll always be my best friend
You'll always be my better half
I must've done something right
When I look back at what I have

I watch the skyline change
I can't see the stars for all
The buildings in the way
Do they even know my name
Turns out in the long run
It doesn't matter anyway
I got everything I wanted
Without getting what I thought I wanted

I thought I wanted the world
But all I wanted was you
I thought I knew myself
But to tell you the truth

I watch the skyline change
I can't see the stars for all
The buildings in the way, yeah
They still don't know my name
Turns out in the long run
Some dreams fade away
I got everything I wanted
I got everything I wanted
I got everything I ever wanted
Without getting what I thought I wanted
