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
