In Bluer Skies Lyrics
What needs must be
I realised
I'm walking out
From blackened skies
You say belief
Is in our eyes
But how can I believe
In blind lies
I'm counting
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart
Have we been born to follow
Tied to a bitter rein
Or will we begin to grow
Bound by this simple chain
Will we evolve tonight
Sparkle like brittle stars
Can we dissolve tonight
Held by your hungry arms
I'm counting
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart
I would be ready
Ready to go
Was your heart heavy
Heavy with sorrow
Had you been heavy
We could have both been grown
Now your hearts heavy
Heavy with sorrow
I'm counting
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart
What needs have been
You'll realize
I've found myself
In bluer skies
I know belief
Is in your eyes
We can't believe
In blind light
I'm counting
On your heavy heart
To keep me
From falling apart
I realised
I'm walking out
From blackened skies
Is in our eyes
But how can I believe
In blind lies
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart
Tied to a bitter rein
Or will we begin to grow
Bound by this simple chain
Sparkle like brittle stars
Can we dissolve tonight
Held by your hungry arms
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart
Ready to go
Was your heart heavy
Heavy with sorrow
Had you been heavy
We could have both been grown
Now your hearts heavy
Heavy with sorrow
On your heavy heart
Could it keep me
From falling apart
You'll realize
I've found myself
In bluer skies
Is in your eyes
We can't believe
In blind light
On your heavy heart
To keep me
From falling apart

He's telling her that she has overrated her own capacity for guiding their relationship. She has actually turned his life to something darker and he has realized she will take him to a nervous breakdown sooner or later if he insists on letting her to guide him. I assume he thought she was the cure that he was needing for healing his own emotional hurts at a first impression until the day he could see she is sicker than him indeed... So now he's trying to take himself to a 'better place' and he hopes that she will follow him ("What needs have been / You'll realize / I've found myself / In bluer skies"), specially because he knows how much she needs his support ("Can we dissolve tonight/ Held by your hungry arms").
One of the Bunnymen's best - IMHO. Lyrical genius.
