Split the Sky Songtext
von Alex the Astronaut

I′ve been colder, watching Harry Potter looking older
I've been hoping, I have what it takes to keep rolling
That the rise and the fall of the tides
Won′t catch me and wash me aside
If I sit here and watch Harry Potter will I be alright?

When I was little I ran up the hill,
Chased cars and felt I didn't think I had much time,
Much time, much time,
And up where I'd climbed it felt so pretty
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
And I felt my life, my life, my life

But I′ve been colder, sitting in my bedroom looking older,
Feeling like I′m underwater, smiling like a lie
Holding onto it all too tight
I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling
′Cause I will not stay underwater, I'll walk outside
I′ll split the sky I'll be alright


I remember being 17
Drinking cheap wine sitting on suburban streets
To the galaxy feeling everything
We were the cowboys that threw up in taxis

Feels different being 23, I still throw up but I don′t feel like me
Now Curtis is working in sales,
And I'd say I've lost my way a little bit

But I′ve been colder, sitting in my bedroom looking older,
Feeling like I′m underwater, smiling like a lie
Holding onto it all too tight
I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling
′Cause I will not stay underwater, I'll walk outside
I′ll split the sky I'll be alright

Tell all my friends, tell all my friends

When I′ve been hopeless, standing on the edge and looking over
When the night sits, heavy his hands on my shoulders
And somewhere I can see a light on,
Maybe there's always a light on,
Maybe I've held on so tight and I just need to cry


Maybe, life is ten colours on top of each other
It goes and it stops, it all comes at once
It′s grief, love, and time,
It′s the seasons gone wild,
A cathedral at night
It's an ocean of tides

I′ve been colder, watching Harry Potter looking older,
Feeling like I'm underwater, smiling like a lie
Holding onto it all too tight
I′ve been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling
'Cause I will not stay underwater, I′ll walk outside
I'll split the sky I'll be alright

Tell all my friends, tell all my friends,
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends
I′ll be alright
Tell all my friends, tell my friends,
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends

And up where I′d climbed it felt so pretty
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
