lyrics

No one says a word as I turn to leave
The kinder ones amongst you say "He made himself naive.
He did this to himself. He led himself astray"
I wouldn't want it any other way
I wouldn't want it any other way

Tell me things but do I understand
This house was surely built on slowly shifting sand
And the reasons you should love me are the things I'll never say
I wouldn't want it any other way
I wouldn't want it any other way

'Cause up in the sky I'm a real rocket man
You tell Elton John, I'll do what I can
Playing tricks with gravity
They're so afraid that I'll hit the ground
They've got it wrong it's the other way around
I understand the things that they won't see

When you look up you'll think I'm very small
And you'll be so afraid that I might fall
If that's the price to pay
then that's the price I'll pay
I wouldn't want it any other way
I wouldn't want it any other way

There's always sun that shines above the clouds
The wind that's in my ears is always loud
So I won't have to hear the things you have to say
I wouldn't want it any other way
I wouldn't want it any other way

'Cause up in the sky I'm a real rocket man
You tell Elton John I'll do what I can
Playing tricks with gravity
They're so afraid that I'll hit the ground
They've got it wrong it's the other way around
I understand the things that they won't see

You always loved the fool up on the hill
But I can do one better than him still
If it's distance that you're after
then that's the game we'll play
I wouldn't want it any other way
I wouldn't want it any other way
