Blue Skies
Blue October
Approaching Normal (2009)

Blue skies, calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys, don't take them away
Cause I'll never stop loving my...

I bend to both knees
Raise my hands up to the sky
Forgive me.
Is something out there
Far beyond the clouds
I'm asking help me,
Help me to see the world
through baby eyes
and hold them closely.
I need a fresh start
on the rollercoaster
made for coasting.

It's time to wake up,
time to make up,
time to shake these memories.
It's time to leave the past
in the past,
lace up a new set of shoestrings.
I want the world to know
I got your back
through up and down, see
So we can stick together
Side by side
Through amazing

Blue skies, calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys, don't take them away
Cause I'll never stop

I've broken every bone
and fought through what felt never ending.
I thought my head was made of sadness
My heart is mending.
I scream at sunsets.
Give applause to what I can't control
Then somehow laugh
at how the moon divides an ocean's soul.
I wanna be that ocean.
I wanna shine like that.
I wanna smile so big
my daughter jumps into my lap.
I wanna tell her daddy's fine
and always plans to be.
Then hold her in my arms
This is what we'll always see.

Blue skies, calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys, don't take them away
Cause I'll never stop loving my
Blue skies, calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys, don't take them away

So when I'm gone, I won't go screaming in the end.
I'll give you everything my life amounts to.
So raise this life up with me
and baby, let's go dancing.

Come on, let's go!

Blue skies, calling on blue skies
Don't take them away, boys, don't take them away
Cause I'll never stop lovin my blue skies
