Pop beats and a lyrical, melodic vocal

You can come back to Earth physically, like those astronauts but this song is about coming back down to Earth metaphorically because you've lost touch with reality and think you're higher than everyone else.

The top of the tree is a dangerous place to be, when the bow breaks Baby it's a tragedy.
Can you hear the branches cracking, are you getting verigo,
will anybody see you when they stand so far below.
Come back down to Earth, we'll catch you if we can.
Come back down to Earth cuz you ain't no Tarzan
You're a frightened Cat-bird, can't see wood for trees
So climb down from your shakey perch, we'll put you at your ease.
If you sit on a cloud breathing rarified air
no-one down here can hear you up there.
You climbed a spiral staircase and you just found another.
Before you get too dizzy better come down Brother.
Come back down to Earth, the clouds will disappear.
Come back down to Earth, what have you got to fear.
Clouds are for Angels and you ain't got no wings.
With your head in the mist you can't see better things.
You're standing on a rooftop threatening to jump.
Your heart is near exploding like an old steam pump.
You see the ants below going 'bout their daily chores
but who's got the time to worry 'bout yours.
Come back down to Earth, we'll catch you if we can.
Come back down to Earth you stupid little man.
Jumping off is scary, landing won't be soft.
but you can't live your life in a windowless loft.
