Skyline
Olivia Penalva Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What if I listen to my heartbeat
Leading me where I belong
Looking for the kinda place where I can run wild
Kind out what I really want
I'm restless, your nervous knocks on the door
Breathless, don't know what I'm waiting for
Stars are burning bright, bringing me to life
Can't hold back anymore

I've been dreaming of a skyline
Makes me wanna go and get above the silence
Find out what's in store and dim the lights, secrets inside this life
So I'll keep dreaming of a skyline, skyline, skyline

I've always been a little wide eyed
Wondering who I could be
The truth is right outside my comfort zone
I'll never know unless I see

I've been dreaming of a skyline
Makes me wanna go and get above the silence
Find out what's in store and dim the lights, secrets inside this life
So I'll keep dreaming of a skyline, skyline, skyline

I'm restless, your nervous knocks on the door
Breathless, don't know what I'm waiting for
Stars are burning bright, bringing me to life
Can't hold back anymore

I've been dreaming of a skyline
Makes me wanna go and get above the silence
Find out what's in store and dim the lights, secrets inside this life
So I'll keep dreaming of a skyline, skyline, skyline
I've been dreaming of a skyline
Makes me wanna go and get above the silence




Find out what's in store and dim the lights, secrets inside this life
So I'll keep dreaming of a skyline, skyline, skyline
