Skyscraper
Double Trouble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't mean to hurt you
Didn't mean to let you down
You brought out the best in me
Helped me turn my life around

In a room with too little light
Any fool could lose his sight
But you opened my eyes
Ooh, mmm

If I was an angel
With a halo of brilliant light
I'd guard you from the heavens
I'd come your darkest nights
If I can be a hurricane
I would pound on your window pane

In the clouds up in the wild blue
Skyscraper with an open view
Just wanna get back to you
You're a skyscraper
Skyscraper

If my life was just a dream
I would dream you by my side
If my love could take you there
We'd go where the stars collide

Gravity can bring us down
But we would never touch the ground

In the clouds up in the wild blue
Skyscraper with an open view
Just wanna get back to you
You're a skyscraper
Skyscraper

In the clouds up in the wild blue
Skyscraper with an open view
Just wanna get back to you




You're a skyscraper
Skyscraper
