Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Sky

To the sky

Portraits of oceans is a moment in your eyes

Poetry talking when the words leave your mouth

All day I'm thinking 'bout it

Was it ever really me? I doubt it

Would it even be life without it?

Without it, without it

Those places that you take me

My feet don't touch the pavement

So what I'm trying to say is, say is

I, I wanna see you

Looking at you's like a mirror to the sky

To the sky

You're so bright

I wanna hold you

I'm gonna love you 'til the day that I die

My mirror to the sky

One lucky human to be here now, to behold you

Stardust and chemicals, when your soul touches mine, oh

All day I'm thinking 'bout it

Was it ever really me? I doubt it

Would it even be life without it?

Without it, without it

Those places that you take me

My feet don't touch the pavement

So what I'm trying to say is, say is

I, I wanna see you

Looking at you's like a mirror to the sky

To the sky

You're so bright

I wanna hold you

I'm gonna love you 'til the day that I die

My mirror to the sky

Ashes to ashes

Some kind of magic

How did it happen?

I'll never figure it out

It doesn't matter

Some kind of magic

How did it happen?

Ooh, I, I wanna see you

Looking at you's like a mirror to the sky

To the sky (oh)

You're so bright

I wanna hold you

I'm gonna love you 'til the day that I die ('til the day)

My mirror to the sky, yeah

Sky

To the sky

...
