Lyrics

Big Skies, Silly Faces

[Verse 1: Orlando Weeks]

We talk and talk, but never get the fever

They're not even words that you're saying

But you say 'em like you're so sure

We climb to the very top

For all there is to see there

Mustn't make a bad time worse

But I swear we used to see more

[Pre-Chorus: Orlando Weeks & Katy J Pearson, Orlando Weeks]

No stopping this sky, high as it's wide

My mind against my, my better thinking

Know the feeling, but wonder why

[Chorus: Orlando Weeks & Katy J Pearson]

Life's so easy

With a mind full

Of your silly faces

[Verse 2: Orlando Weeks with Katy J Pearson]

There's tailbacks on the causeway

Wе've seen all there is to see thеre

I don't even like where we're going

But you're going so I'll be there

I kiss you in the hallway

Miss you 'til I see you

With all the time it takes

[Pre-Chorus: Orlando Weeks & Katy J Pearson, Orlando Weeks]

No stopping this sky, high as it's wide

My mind against my, my better thinking

Know the feeling, but wonder why

[Chorus: Orlando Weeks & Katy J Pearson]

Life's so easy

With a mind full

Life's so easy

With a mind full

Life's so easy

With a mind full of

Your silly faces

[Outro: Orlando Weeks]

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway

Tailbacks on the causeway
