Skies On Fire Lyrics

And you opened your eyes in a different way
Never looked to the future
And you play with your clothes in a distant way
To avert a disaster

And I’m just dying to find
These fingers of mine
Got lucky this time

Skies on fire
You look so good
Skies on fire
This rush of blood
My heart beats higher
And those architects and artists
Build towers to admire
You control the flood gates
And I’m on fire
I’m on fire..

And the words that you said never went away
Happy endings and earthquakes
And the look in your eye it can make my day
When its gone gives me headaches

But I’m just dying to find
Some reason and rhyme
Got lucky this time

The skies on fire
You look so good
Skies on fire
This rush of blood
My heart beats higher
‘Cause architects and artists
Build towers to admire
But you control the floodgates
And I’m on fire
I’m on fire..

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.
