Why do I have to stay here on the ground? It′s overrated

The cityscape escapes you with a sound, it's delineated

I waited at the station for an hour, but I won′t make itYou take off on an updraft by the tower and you overtake it

Every moon that I see you on the rise

You're drawn across the sky

Now that ink has dried

And I can't tell you why

Oh, Mimi, can you tell me there′s an issue?

I′ve seen it clouded all around you

I hear you tell me there's an issue

You′ve seen before

Oh, Mimi, can you tell me there's an issue?

I′ve seen it clouded all around you

I hear you tell me there's an issue

You′ve seen before

And I can't tell you why

No, I can't tell you why

Why do you have to stay here on the ground? It′s overrated

The cityscape berates you with a sound, it′s delineated

And no one here has even learned your name, but they all claim it

They saw you land and ran to do the same, but they won't make it

Every moon that I see you on the rise

You′re drawn across the sky

Now that ink has dried

And I can't tell you why

Oh, Mimi, can you tell me there′s an issue?

I've seen it clouded all around you

I hear you tell me there′s an issue

You've seen before

Oh, Mimi, can you tell me there's an issue?

I′ve seen it clouded all around you

I hear you tell me there′s an issue

You've seen before

And I can′t tell you why

(And I can't tell you why)

(And I can′t tell you why)

(And I can't tell you why)

(I can′t tell you why) tell me there's an issue

(I can't tell you why) I′ve seen it clouded all around you

(I can′t tell you why) I hear you tell me there's an issue

You′ve seen before

(I can't tell you why) oh, Mimi, can you tell me there′s an issue?

(I can't tell you why) I′ve seen it clouded all around you

(I can't tell you why) I hear you tell me there's an issue

You′ve seen before

And I can′t tell you why

I can't tell you why
