From the recordings The Skies We Look To and The Skies We Look To (Extended Version)
Lyrics
When I was younger
And didn’t know what life was
I said my only purpose
was to be your love
I said it like a bad thing
Cuz I wanted more
Now I’d give anything to be that poor
When you would hold me
Never felt alone
I wanted to be higher
Little did I know
The view from up here now
Gives me vertigo
And I’d give anything to be that low
Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell I’m under
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick
Started a fire
and i let it burn
Always trying to get somewhere
Waiting for my turn
Just wanted to get through it
now it’s turned to ash
And I’d give anything to get that back
Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell we’re under
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick
Time just keeps on rolling by like thunder
If you can slow it down well that’s a clever trick
I’m just trying to Break the spell I’m under
Hoping maybe this time it’ll stick
When I was younger
And didn’t know what life was
I said my only purpose
was to be your love
I said it like a bad thing
Cuz I wanted more
Now I’d give anything to be that poor
