Studio Lyrics:

Eyes wide open

Pupils like dimes
Mama's little boy on the ride of his life

And it's alright


Mind over body

Body over mind
It really doesn't matter if you can't tell the stars from the streetlights


Lying on your back by the sewer grate
Kisses on your face from the neon rain

There's no pain


Clench your jaw

Tingle your spine
To the moon Jackie

We got time

It's alright

 

Come a little closer to the sky
It's better than wondering why
It's better than breaking

We're on your side
When everything you hear is a lie
And everyone's running out of time
It's better than waiting

We're on your side
Come a little closer to the sky

 

Leave downtown

Before you get slaughtered
Bonfire shining on the blackwater

It's alright


Sand on your feet

Wind in your hair
You're a silhouette in the summer air

You're so light


On the edge of the lake

At the edge of the night
She's looking at you

With dangerous eyes

And a half smile


You give her a kiss

She bites your lip
You say I love you, she says you're full of shit

She's so right

 

Come a little closer to the sky
It's better than wondering why
It's better than breaking

We're on your side
When everything you hear is a lie
And everyone's running out of time
It's better than waiting

We're on your side
Come a little closer to the sky

 

Round here

Everybody with a plan is on something
And everyone falling in love is lonely

It's alright

 

Come a little closer to the sky
It's better than wondering why
It's better than breaking

We're on your side
When everything you hear is a lie
And everyone's running out of time
It's better than waiting

We're on your side
Come a little closer to the sky

Come a little closer
Come a little closer
Come a little closer to the sky
