Thought I heard the echo all my life

I heard it three times, ignored it three times

And changed three times, and then returned

A cellular reverse to the original form

What for, if in there all along?

What for? For proving to someone

That I used to be a downtown kid

And run, now I am far away from

I am so far away

Climbing high to keep my head above

You humored me with love, humor me with love

If my star didn't burn out, would we know?

If lightning doesn't go, will anything glow?

I know you were here all along

To break my fall, I'm subject to falling

Down, down, down, I guess so

And you would know

Anyway, I can't get over how you always say

"Remember where you came from, remember where you came from

My love, remember where you came from"
