Blue Skies

Blue October

Blue skies 
Calling on blue skies 
Don't take them away, boys 
Don't take them away 
Cause I'll never stop 

I've been to both knees 
Raise my hands up to the skies, forgive me 
Is something out there far beyond the clouds? 
I'm asking help me 
Help me to see the world 
Through baby eyes and hold me closely 
I need a fresh start on the roller coaster 
Made for coasting 
It's time to wake up, time to make up 
Time to shake these memories 
It's time to leave the past in the past 
And lace up a new set of shoestrings 
I want the world to know I've got your back 
Through up and down, see 
So we can sit together, side by side 
Through amazing 

Blue skies 
Calling on blue skies 
Don't take them away, boys 
Don't take them away 
Cause I'll never stop 

So I've broken every bone 
And fought through what felt never-ending 
I thought my head was made of sadness 
But my heart is mending 
I scream at sunsets 
Give applause to what I can't control 
Then somehow laugh at how 
The moon divides an ocean solo 
I wanna be that ocean 
I wanna shine like that 
I want to smile so big my daughter jumps into my lap 
And I wanna tell her daddy's fine 
And always plans to be 
Then take her in my arms 
This is what we'll always see 

Blue skies 
Calling on blue skies 
Never take them away, boys 
Don't take them away 
Yeah, shhh 

And when I'm gone 
I won't go screaming in the end 
I'll give you everything my life amounts to 
So raise your life up with me 
And baby, let's go dancing 
Come on! 

Blue skies 
Calling on blue skies 
Don't take them away, boys 
Don't take them away 
Cause I'll never stop 

Well I've broken every bone 
And fought through what felt never-ending 
I thought my head was made of sadness 
My heart is mending 
I scream at sunsets 
Give applause to what I can't control 
Then somehow laugh at how 
The moon divides an ocean solo 
I wanna be that ocean 
I wanna shine like that 
I want to smile so big my daughter jumps into my lap 
And I wanna tell her daddy's fine 
And always plans to be 
Then take her in my arms 
This is what we'll always see 

Just blue skies 
Keep calling on blue skies 
I'll never take them away, little girl 
I'll never take them away 
Cause I'll never stop loving my blue skies
