Sky
Easter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

sky is so dark over town tonight
ur face is bloody youve put up a fight
we been out surfing the sea was so tight
im getting high if u give me a light

u said its over for us any day
what could make a change we had every babe
and so many chances to set things straight

now it must end, so is our fate

i spend all night trying to catch your eyes
to see what you felt in-between my thighs
what used to be We has now become I
i was your brother now we re the same guy

u been inside of me all my life
man u were the reason I saw the light
Now u are the reason i m taking this knife
cus what we got left isnt worth the sight

they said look back look at what you have done
told us both u are no longer our son
the time we could look at each other is gone
here is the proof we have now become one

now that we re one and now that we re high
all I can see is that We have to die

u are inside of me You are so fly
and what we ve become we will take to the sky

The singer spends the night trying to catch his companion's eyes to decipher the emotions between his thighs.
