[Verse 1]
but thatâs just something people say
when theyâre on their last leg and
they need someone to say something to help them cope
or someone to say something hopeful
I hope youâre ok
but thats just something people say
and if I meant every word that I ever said
you would probably question the life I have led
youâd probably think Iâm an evil broken person
and you would be right
[Chorus 1]
because I went downhill at such steep incline
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
and I laughed about it all night
and I said âhey man, isnât it poetic
that the sky is what we leave behind?â
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
[Verse 2]
and youâre the one who taught me to be brave
Iâve never spent a moment loving anyone but you
and maybe thatâs just something that people say
but I hope that you know itâs the truth
[Chorus 2]
because I went downhill at such steep incline
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
and I laughed about it all night
[Verse 3]
because you were the first one to show me the stars
and they donât mean much to me
but I still wonder where you are
and some nights I still try to find you
relative to constellations
and all your relatives are still on vacation
or so I heard from a friend
and does it mean anything
that you stayed in town?
probably not
[Chorus 3]
because I went downhill at such steep incline
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
and I laughed about it all night
and I said âhey man, isnât it poetic
that the sky is what we leave behind?â
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
[Outro]
hey man, isnât it poetic
that the sky is what we leave behind?
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
