We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This night is all we've got
Drive fast until we crash
This dead end life
Sweet dreams that won't come true
I'd leave it all for you
Brick walls are closing in
Let's make a run tonight
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Won't let you go
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
She said don't change your mind
Let's leave this town behind
We'll race right off the cliff
They will remember this
It all got so mundane
With you I'm back again
Just take me by the hand
We're close to the edge
Blinded by the lights
Hold you through forever
Won't let you go
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love'
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
Where are your guts to fly
Soaring through, through the night
And if you take that last step
I'll follow you
Leave the edge and fly
We're finally alive
'Cause if you jump I will jump too
We will fall together
From the building's ledge
Never looking back at what we've done
We'll say it was love
'Cause I would die for you
On Skyway Avenue
So what's left to prove
We have made it through
The lyrics to We the Kings' "02 Skyway Avenue" paint a vivid image of two people determined to break free from their mundane lives and take a leap of faith together. The female protagonist initiates the idea of leaving everything behind and taking a chance on something more exciting with the male protagonist by her side. The two of them acknowledge that this could end up in disaster, but they also know that the reward for taking the risk and experiencing true love is worth it. The chorus features a powerful message of their unbreakable bond, that if one decides to jump, the other will follow, and they'll fall together. Despite the danger, they implore each other to take that leap of faith and to leave everything behind on Skyway Avenue.
The song is a testament to the power of love and the lengths that people will go to for the person they care about. It speaks to the idea of reaching out to someone and taking a chance on love, even when everything around you is telling you not to. The lyrics are emotional and powerful, leaving a lasting impact on the listener.

With you I'm back again

Where are your guts to fly
He asks her to be brave and take risks
Soaring through, through the night
They will fly through the danger together
And if you take that last step
If she proceeds with the plan
I'll follow you
He will be with her no matter what
Leave the edge and fly
They should take the leap into the unknown
We're finally alive
They finally feel alive by taking risk
So what's left to prove
They have accomplished all they want
We have made it through
They have faced adversity and survived
