Downhill

Lyrics

[Verse 1] That's just something people say When they're on their last leg and They need someone to say something to help them cope Or someone to say something hopeful "I hope you're okay" But that's just something people say And if I meant every word that I ever said You would probably question the life I have led You'd probably think I'm an evil, broken person And you would be right [Chorus] Because I went downhill at such steep incline That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky And I laughed about it all night And I said "Hey man, isn't it poetic That the sky is what we leave behind?" Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground [Verse 2] And you're the one who taught me to be brave I've never spent a moment loving anyone but you And maybe that's just something that people say But I hope that you know it's the truth [Chorus] Because I went downhill at such steep incline That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky And I laughed about it all night [Verse 3] Because you were the first one to show me the stars And they don't mean much to me, but I still wonder where you are Some nights, I still try to find you relative to constellations All your relatives are still on vacation, or so I heard from a friend Does it mean anything that you stayed in town? Probably not [Chorus] I went downhill at such steep incline That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky And I laughed about it all night And I said "Hey man, isn't it poetic That the sky is what we leave behind?" Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground "Hey man, isn't it poetic That the sky is what we leave behind?" Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
