Lyrics

Skyline

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

'Cause I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that way
You shouldn't have come at all

Yeah I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that way
I shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

'Cause I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that way
I shouldn't have come at all

Yeah I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that way
I shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

The skyline waits for the world
The skyline waits for the fall
But you shouldn't have come at all

'Cause I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that way
I shouldn't have come at all

Yeah I know
You're never gonna be
No you're never gonna be that way
I shouldn't have come at all
I shouldn't have come at all
I shouldn't have come at all
