Lyrics
Blue skies, calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys, don't take them away
Cause I'll never stop loving my
I've been to both knees
Raised 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
I've broken every bone
And fell 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 soul, well
I wanna be that ocean
I wanna shine like that
I want to smile so big, my daughter jumps into my lap
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
Don't take them away, boys
Don't take them away
'Cause I'll never stop loving my
Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys
Don't take them away, yeah
And when I'm gone, I won't go screaming in the end
'Cause I'll give you everything my life amounts to
So raise this life up with me
And baby, let's go dancing
Come on, let's go!
Move, come on!
Ooh, uh
Come on, yeah, yeah, oh
Give me, give me, give me, give me, yeah
Go, go, go!
Blue skies
Calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys
Never take them away
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Don't take them away
No, no, no
