This Sky Lyrics

Sad sad lover, being true
Falling out a window for the view
All of us laugh, how many of us sing?
This sky where we live is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love...

Lose your body and your mind
And the bitter taste of time
All of us cry while we should be dancing
This sky where we live is no place to lose your wings
So love, love, love...

Fly, fly away, fly away
Fly, fly away, do you remember?

All of us sleeping, how many of us dream?
This sky where we live is the place to lose your wings
So love, love, love...

Fly, fly away...fly away.
Fly, fly away...do you remember?

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.

I think this song is about living life. It's too easy to get caught up in our flaws, unrealistic expectations, or even being chemically depressed. All we should do is live and love life.

God I can remember staying up till 4 with buddies at the meal hall eating until they wouldn't serve me (haha).

Riding my bike to my 12:30 Music Theory I class.

Having just enough time to listen to this.

Saw Derek and Susan in Atlanta '06 Derek was drunk towards the end but incredible. Incredible soul.
