Downhill

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

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

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

Because I went downhill at such steep incline

That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

And I laughed about it all night

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

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
