Clouds & Skyscrapers Lyrics

to say that apologies only come when mistakes are made, is to say that for the next three months without hesitation she'll patiently wait. to watch the season slowly pass without a breathe or a smile is to love those same eyes that focused on you for all this while. start over on monday; and everything will turn out just the way she planned. to say that clouds and skyscrapers remind me of her, is to see that something out of reach can bring two people back together. to take the time to step back and look into his past, is to search within himself to see why nothing could ever last. i'm falling from the place where i stood won't someone take my hand, cause i don't understand.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me, This song is about how he just cant understand why relationships wont work for him, why they always fall apart.

///is to see that something out of reach can bring two people back together///////

out of reach perhaps being past memories that can now somehow repair this relationship?

Here's the song in non-paragraph form. Kinda did it by ear, so sorry if some of it is wrong.

To say that apologies only come when mistakes are made Is to know that for the next three months Without hesistation she patiently waits.

To watch the seasons slowly pass Without a breath or a smile Is to love those same eyes that focused on you for all this while.

Start over on Monday And everything will turn out just the way she planned.

To say that clouds and skyscrapers They remind me of her, Is to see that something out of reach can bring two people back together.

To take the time to step back and look into his past Is to search within himself See why nothing can ever last.

Start over on Monday And everything will turn out just the way she planned. And everything will turn out just the way she planned.

I'm falling from the place where I stood. Will someone take my hand cause I don't understand.

And she said, And everything will turn out just the way she planned. And everything will turn out just the way she planned.
