If competition showed, there wasn't recognition.
Everything said "no," why am I still on this mission?
I'm here to save the best for you, not for consolation.
Anytime you're ready, up here I'll wait for you.
I'm falling off the shelf,
I'm falling off the shelf.
Are you there to catch me, before I hit the ground?
Even if you aren't here for me, I'll still be around.

Can I make you happy, with jokes or crappy songs?
Or can I spark some interest, by always acting dumb?
Sixteen wasn't the best of times apparently, your days went by too fast.
Tell me that your hopes are gone, I'll swear that we will last.

I'm falling off the shelf,
I'm falling off the shelf.
Are you there to catch me, before I hit the ground?
Even if you aren't here for me, I'll still be around.
