lyrics

WHY THE SKY

Deep breath, OK
Today is the day I’m gonna get it together
I’m returning from the dead
Through my muffled head
I can hear you

I wonder why the sky won’t fall down
Are you the one that keeps it off the ground
Are you the miracle, come to make me sober
Are you the valiant fool, come to make me strong

Wonderin’ why the sky
(See the sun, it pokes)
See the sun, it pokes through the sky
Never ask how or wonder why

You say, No way
I’m the girl that’s gonna put you together
I’m a burning Joan of Arc and through these ancient sparks
I will heal you

I wonder why the sky don’t fall down
Are you the one that keeps it off the ground

Wonderin’ why the sky
(See the sun, it pokes)
See the sun, it pokes through the sky
Never ask how or wonder why
