I keep learning lessons
From everyone around me
More and more about myself
And things I shouldn't be
If you could ever reach me
When I'm high above the clouds
Out of sight and out of mind
I like the way that sounds
So things ain't always gold
And maybe now you know
Why I keep hanging around this place
Holding myself down with no faith
And I swear I know what's good for me
But just in case
I'll keep hanging around
Hanging around
So far I've been guessing
I'm in the third degree
Using all my blessings
For things I shouldn't be
Moving slow to catch them
Eluding every bout
Forging all the heavy stones
I've learned to keep around
So things ain't always gold
And maybe now you know
Why I keep hanging around this place
Holding myself down with no faith
And I swear I know what's good for me
But just in case
I'll keep hanging around
Hanging around
