Skyline
Melissa Polinar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we've all been there before
still craving for more
then we pretend we have enough to breathe
keep wearing the mask
someday it won't last
this stage will have a final curtain call
we keep on dancing when the music plays
lay it down and leave it all behind
we're strolling under love's sunshine
singing "night is ending one day we'll all be fine"
remember the past
know all this will pass
The future only comes
when we rest in presents hands
we can never be too sure
life is crazy even when we swore
we should never walk so insecure
we keep on dancing as the music plays
just hoping to keep going everyday
on't you dare and stop until you find
the sweetest sound hanging by the skyline
lay it down and leave it all behind
we're strolling under love's sunshine
singing "night is ending one day we'll all be fine"
"night is ending one day we'll all be fine"
we keep the rhythm as the music fades
slow dancing when moon shines at your face
on't you dare and stop until you find
the sweetest sound hanging by the skyline
lay it down and leave it all behind
we're strolling under love's sunshine
singing "night is ending one day we'll all be fine"
"night is ending one day we'll all be fine"
"night is ending one day we'll all be fine"
"night is ending one day we'll all be fine"

I've been a fan of yours since you did Meant to Be with Alyssa Bernal, and I've been a subscriber of Knocksteady for a while too. Seeing you on this channel was awesome, and it made me happy. Also, you should put more of your stuff on Spotify (I think you just have Sound Vault Sessions on there, but I'm pretty sure you have a few other projects).
