On a Cloud

I get so lonely when I think of the nights I spent down there without your smile

I built a castle on the floor of the sea and locked myself inside

I was sitting down there alone

And no one came down to call

Had to leave my life behind

I had to leave or I would lose it all

I felt so safe inside

No one to criticize

I was standing so tall

Then I was losing it

The walls were caving in

So I swam back to the shore

Now I’m sitting on a cloud in the sky

Looking down on your life

I couldn’t keep my feet on the ground

You’ll never know I tried

Now I’m sitting on a cloud in the sky

Looking down on your life

I couldn’t keep my feet on the ground

You’ll never know I tried

When I got back I saw the people in knew just drifting in and out of time

I couldn’t join them because I know that you sit all by yourself between the lines

So I jumped in my balloon and I floated up to you

Had to leave my life behind

I had to leave it all and face the truth

I felt so safe inside

No one to criticize

I was standing so tall

Then I was losing it

The walls were caving in

Now I’m above it all

Now I’m sitting on a cloud in the sky

Looking down on your life

I couldn’t keep my feet on the ground

You’ll never know I tried

You’ll never know I tried

You’ll never know

You’ll never know

You’ll never know

Now I’m sitting on a cloud in the sky

Looking down on your life

I couldn’t keep my feet on the ground

You’ll never know I tried

Now I’m sitting on a cloud in the sky

(you’ll never know)

Looking down on your life

(you’ll never know)

I couldn’t keep my feet on the ground

You’ll never know I tried
