Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Left a trace
On my lips
Do ya always run away when it gets wild?
Bittersweet
Fleeting bliss
I guess I haven't felt electric for some time
[PreChorus]
Feels like a new rush, new rush flowering
Oh, like a break in the ice
Felt like the clouds got tired of opening
Oh, ain't felt light in a while
[Chorus]
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, it's about damn time
[Verse 2]
Wide awake
From the breeze
How the hell did I get so numb to desire?
Mix the paints
On the page
'Cause I ain't nothing without joy and sorrow's fire
[PreChorus]
Feels like a new dawn, new song playin' loud
Oh, this bitter peace in my mind
Felt like the stars got bored of coming out
But oh, I caught 'em up there last night
[Chorus]
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, it's about damn time
It's about damn time, damn time
Damn time
[Bridge]
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?
Would I be who I am without the sadness in me?
[Chorus]
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, it's about damn time
Is that a blue sky? Is that a blue sky?
It's about damn time, it's about damn time
