Stratosphere Lyrics
Walking on air, living in the
Stratosphere
Still there's something wrong up here
I don't have a care running round the stratosphere
But it's awfully lonely here
Running without you
Sitting high on top of the world was
All I ever wanted
But now I see it wasn't worth the casualty I suffered
In this dark sky
I never meant to have to start all over
Start all over without you
Drifting out alone lying in the
Stratosphere
Wishing I was anywhere else
Lying next to you
There's nothing in this galaxy holding
My attention
The sun has lost its gravity and severed my
Connection
To the starlight
I never meant to have to start all over
Start all over without you, without you
Stratosphere
Still there's something wrong up here
I don't have a care running round the stratosphere
But it's awfully lonely here
Running without you
All I ever wanted
But now I see it wasn't worth the casualty I suffered
In this dark sky
Start all over without you
Stratosphere
Wishing I was anywhere else
Lying next to you
My attention
The sun has lost its gravity and severed my
Connection
To the starlight
Start all over without you, without you

The author is talking about only ever wanting to accomplish one thing, which would put him "on top of the world", but he finds that to accomplish that, he's sacrificed the attention of someone important, and that his achievement has paradoxically left him having to reorient his goals; this time, unfortunately, without the presence/attentions of this special person.
