lyrics

Top of a building and I don’t wanna look
Wanna read my comic book
Wanna see super heroes take command
I wanna be Batman but I always be a crook
But the wrong turn that I took down the road
That made me a man

You are who you are, I am who I am
Not much we can do about
What’s out of our hands
Live out your life the best that you can,
It’s who you are, it’s who I am

Top of a building, there are birds in the sky
How do birds get so high
How do words hurt me in my chest
You said I was good but I’ll never be best
No I’ll never be that guy in the sky it’s upon my chest

You are who you are, I am who I am
Not much we can do about
What’s out of our hands
Live out your life the best that you can,
It’s who you are, it’s who I am

Shoot me down in broad day light
No need for night sight, shoot me down,
Shoot me or I’ll die of stage fright
It’s looking like a 40 storey fall before my body hits the ground

Top of a building, yes I know I’m a champ
But I’m ready to jump, watch me now
We both know how this thing works out
Sit back, relax, enjoy the show
That’s what it’s all about

Cuz...
You are who you are, I am who I am
Not much we can do about
What’s out of our hands
Live out your life the best that you can,
Cuz you are who you are, I am who I am

Don’t lend me your arm
Don’t try to reach out your hand
Just live out your life the best that you can
It’s who you are, it’s who I am
We’ve come so far, please understand

It’s who you are, it’s who I am
We’ve come so far, please understand
It’s who you are, it’s who I am
We’ve come so far, please understand
