Lyrics
I've failed to observe the better skies
All the while clouds just passed me by
But true reflection still gets me high
So I'll pack my bags and off I go
I'm gonna fly
As I recall life's been good to me
If that's the case then why can't I see
The beauty within these tragedies
Why does the darkness still shine on my A to Z's
When that voice is calling
It brings me to my knees
Feels like the sky is falling
That's the story of my life
Life goes up and sometimes comes back down
But in between it barely makes a sound
They say I'm maybe way too tightly wound
Yeah, that might be true but they have no clue
I always come around
When that voice is calling
It brings me to my knees
Feels like the sky is falling
That's the story of my life
Pass the cheer on, over here now
It's comin' on and I don't know why
Drink my beer down, feel the pain drown
It's comin' on, there's nowhere to hide, yeah
When the night falls I pray for peace
That sinking feeling takes over me
But everyone needs something to believe in
The sun'll rise again and lift me up
Back on my feet
When that voice is calling
It brings me to my knees
Feels like the sky is falling
That's the story of my life
