15 Minutes (Fall To Earth)

I guess I’m glad you got what you wanted
Said your piece and the wide world responded
I guess I’m glad you got what you wanted now
I see you rushing in where angels fear to tread
At the top of my news feed and the heart of every thread
And I guess I’m glad you got what you wanted now

I’m watching you fly
Impossibly high
I wonder if you’ll ever be satisfied
Will it be enough?
What was it worth?
When your 15 minutes is up
And you fall to earth

It hit me hard when you said I was useless
I understand you thought it was fruitless
And I guess I’m glad you got what you wanted now
But I miss our conversations held outside the public eye
Since you have no reservations ‘bout the way we said goodbye
Then I guess I hope you found what you needed now

I'm watching you fly...

I’m watching you fly and I worry you might float away
I’m watching you fly and I worry you might float away

But I’m watching you fly
Impossibly high
And I wonder if you’ll ever be satisfied
Will it ever be enough?
What was it worth?
When your 15 minutes is up
And you fall to earth
You fall to earth
When you fall to earth
