Lyrics

Yeah, I'd sit in the kitchen listenin' to Radio 4 And gaze out the door, look all vacant and bored Pain stays like a stain on the floor, so I hedge My bets for a second and then I set for a walk I call my dad and say, "I'm bored of all the same advice " Same dreams that we find under fading lights Want a future little crisper than the bacon bite, reaching Higher heights than I as searching for straying kites Wading right into the question, if I could, I might, but Close my eyes for a second, too scared to set my sights Take a cigarette and smoke it to the evening light and Think of 19, how I saw it through the dreamer's eyes I'm right here, missing days on playgrounds, paper Planes that we flew on through the gray clouds Prayed for rain, hoping clouds would slowly break down And fill us with a feeling of a future as it came down Stay around and ask my dad if I'll make him proud, taking on the Weight within the words of, "Make it great, man." 19, yeah, I'm Young in my mind, so tell me why I feel I'm running out of time It goes... And yeah, I'm talking to you Head in the clouds, but the sky's still blue, yeah And yeah, I'm talking to you, uh, head In the clouds with the sky still blue Now I can see you on the corner with your stories Told, 19, daydreaming with your Marburg Oaths In pouring cold, cigarettes you fought to hold and figure Out your future like your days were turning all to stone Writing poems about missing your bed, hoped To speak it out, but try and listen instead Thoughts upon the paper that you penciled in lead Not quite a boy nor a man, but yet you acted instead Head full of nothing, you're down and out, so it's tough, and you Miss your mother so much, you say that you suffer from loving Say that it's nothing with every step that I'm touching I hope to see the better man I'm slowly becoming Your ink stained poems upon the back of a napkin Said it rules smooth on the track like Verstappen I know I promised you the moon, but trust, I'll take you to Saturn 19 Was, and 19 happened It goes... And yeah, I'm talking to you Head in the clouds, but the sky's still blue, yeah And yeah, I'm talking to you Head in the clouds, but the sky's still blue We used to tremble, sit in rooms as lonely guys Sit in silence at parties until our phones would die Catching eyes, sink a rise like you caught a line of brighter Blue in hue with a golden twist like the Malton skies Sought to find a little peace upon the morning times When your coffee's only caffeine for pouring skies Invite the rain, no one can see you cry, take That to your deathbed right before you die, uh I'm missing 19 too Been 19 since I've seen my mother's eyes blue I felt freer than between me and you All I dreamt of and all I didn't do It goes... And yeah, I'm talking to you Head in the clouds, but the sky's still blue, yeah And yeah, I'm talking to you, uh Head in the clouds with the sky still blue And yeah, I'm talking to you Head in the clouds, but the sky's still blue, yeah Yeah, the sky's still blue It goes... Above the clouds where the sky is still blue
