Blue Sky Thinking
Lauren Samuels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What would it be like if I stayed right here
Never grow up and never face my fears
And what would it be like if I never take
A chance on a choice hard to make

What would it be like to start again
New town New job and make new friends
So why to people think that im being niave
should i play it safe and never leave
Im getting older and growing wise
so i take a breath and I close my eyes
theres no limit theres no limit to the sky
theres no limit theres no limit to the sky

what would it be like if I came back home
no tears no regrets no I told you so's
and what if i return with my head held high
i made it i stayed it i proved them all wrong
my dad calls me blue sky thinking
my mom thinks the stars in my eyes
but the record will show it each time I grow theres no limit
theres no limit to the sky
theres no limit theres no limit to the sky
theres a change in the air that tells me to dare
let the tree be the wind on my wings
theres a change in the air that tells me to dare
let the tree be the wind on my wings

my dad calls me blue sky thinking
my mom thinks the stars in my eyes
but the record will show it each time I grow theres no limit
theres no limit
theres no limit to the sky
theres no limit
theres no limit to the sky

so imagine my life in five years time
did i stay right here or did i learn to climb
im gettting older and growing wise
so i take a breath and i close my eyes

i can make it
i can take it
i can prove them all wrong

my dad calls me blue sky thinking
my mom thinks the stars in my eyes
but the record will show it each time I grow theres no limit
theres no limit to the sky
theres no limit to the sky
theres




theres no limit to the sky
theres no limit
