Lyrics
Mr. Hughes, how are you? I know it's been a while
Addressing Mr. Hughes, expressing awareness of the time gap and longing.
But I've been dying trying to capture a billion smiles
Expressing the struggle to capture happiness in a world with numerous challenges.
People like us, we are always misunderstood
Feeling consistently misunderstood, acknowledging life's ups and downs.
Though there's ups and downs the bad outshines the good
Recognizing that negativity often overshadows positivity.
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well
Doubting the positive outcome of a situation involving Howard.
Hold it close to your heart
Encouraging Howard to cherish something meaningful.
What ever happened to Howard Hughes?
Raising a question about the fate of Howard Hughes.
I guess life wasn't good to you, you gave it all you got
Noting that life was unkind to Howard despite his efforts.
And still they threw you out for being you
Highlighting societal rejection despite giving one's best.
Even if our success was as good as dead our worst critics were in our head
Reflecting on internal struggles and self-criticism even in the face of success.
Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree
Pointing out societal non-acceptance and agreement among friends.
People say we're done for we're liabilities
Addressing negative opinions and perceptions, considering them as liabilities.
But I brought property between genius and insanity
Claiming a space between genius and insanity, emphasizing uniqueness.
You wrote the books on brains and wealth and looks
Acknowledging Howard's contributions to intelligence, wealth, and appearance.
But in both our times free thinkers only thrive in history books
Noting that free thinkers like Howard thrive only in history books.
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well
Reiterating doubt about a positive outcome for Howard.
Hold it close to your heart
Repeating the encouragement to hold onto something valuable.
What ever happened to Howard Hughes?

I guess life wasn't good to you, you gave it all you got
Reaffirming that life was harsh to Howard despite his efforts.
And still they threw you out for being you

Even if our success was as good as dead our worst critics were in our head
Re-emphasizing internal struggles despite external success.
Society don't accept me or you and all our friends agree
Reiterating societal non-acceptance and agreement among friends.
Howard my dear was it films and planes that made you this way
Questioning if Howard's transformation was influenced by films and planes.
Howard my dear they spoke and we're jokes
Reflecting on the impact of others' words on Howard and oneself.
Howard you're a 10 but I'm not sure this ends well
