lyrics

[Verse 1]
Getting older
It’s so much harder getting over
You could find me... praying to a Michael Jordan poster
Now, I’m simply on my knees
This ain’t what I thought I’d be
Yes, I guess I’m growing up
But I ain’t grown enough to reach
All those superstars I saw
Ones I can no longer see
Too many lights are in the sky
Is there one still left in me?

[Hook]
My cape is at the cleaners, baby, now
Left it there back in ‘99
Said I'd come back when I had the money, but
When I got it, [I] couldn’t find the time
My cape is at the cleaners, baby, now
Gotta get it back and save myself
Please say it ain’t too late to do it, and they... had to hand it off to someone else

[Verse 2]
To be candid… I think I’m running out of chances
(You think?)
You could find me… imitating Michael Jackson dances
Now, they knock me off my feet
This ain’t what I thought I’d be
Yes, I guess I’m growing up
But I ain’t grown enough to reach
All those superstars I saw
Ones I can no longer see
Too many lights are in the sky
Is there one still left in me?

[Hook]
