Skies
Fort Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If she's just a solemn sister
Then I'm a stranger to the cause
I'll play with the crowd until she
GET'S BY
I wished that I'd never missed her
When I'm crawling on the floor
I found the keys I lost in the pick up
(...)

So c'mon c'mon c'mon
And find it
You can't give up once you get behind it
I'll show this hurts, you can't even find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit

C'mon c'mon c'mon
And fight it
You can't give up if you realize it
I'll show this, where to find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit

I wish that I'd never kissed her
Tears gonna nothing more

The blink that attracts
(...)
Sweet sick solemn sister
I beg "Give me all your..."

This one's a bullet
But you come back FOR MORE
(...)

I wouldn't fight

SO c'mon c'mon c'mon

And fight it
You can't give up once you get behind it
I'll show this hurts but when you find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit

C'mon c'mon c'mon
And fight it
You can't give up if you realize it
I'll show this hurts you can't even find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit

And I need to let go
From the sun in my eyes
If you could please
Let me know
When you finally decide
If I'm good enough for you

You could lie awake
Or turn it something good
You could lie awake
Or turn it something good
You could lie awake
Or turn it something good

You could lie awake
Or turn it something good
NOW
NOW

So c'mon c'mon c'mon
And find it
You can't give up once you get behind it
I'll show this all but when you find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And fight it
You can't give up if you realize it
I'll show this all but where to find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit

Line by Line Meaning

If she's just a solemn sister
If she's just a sad sister


Then I'm a stranger to the cause
Then I don't understand what's going on


I'll play with the crowd until she GET'S BY
I'll entertain people until she gets better


I wished that I'd never missed her
I regret not being there for her


When I'm crawling on the floor
When I'm feeling helpless


I found the keys I lost in the pick up
I found something I thought was lost


So c'mon c'mon c'mon
Come on


And find it
And discover what you need


You can't give up once you get behind it
Don't give up when things get tough


I'll show this hurts, you can't even find it
I'll demonstrate how much it hurts even if you can't see it


Because the sky is the limit
Because anything is possible


And fight it
And struggle against it


I'll show this, where to find it
I'll reveal where to find what you need


I wish that I'd never kissed her
I regret kissing her


Tears gonna nothing more
Crying won't change anything


The blink that attracts
The thing that catches your attention


Sweet sick solemn sister
Sad and sick sister


I beg 'Give me all your...'
I plead for everything you can give me


This one's a bullet
This one hurts


But you come back FOR MORE
But you keep coming back


I wouldn't fight
I wouldn't argue


And I need to let go
And I need to move on


From the sun in my eyes
From the bright light bothering me


If you could please
If you could kindly


Let me know
Inform me


When you finally decide
When you make up your mind


If I'm good enough for you
If I meet your standards


You could lie awake
You could stay up all night


Or turn it something good
Or make it into something positive


NOW
Right now


And show this all but when you find it
And reveal everything when you find it


And fight it
And struggle against it


You can't give up if you realize it
Don't give up if you understand it


I'll show this all but where to find it
I'll reveal everything, but not where to find it


SKIES
The limitless possibilities
