I hope you’re 


ok
              
but that’s jus

              
t something pe

     
ople say
            
and if I meant

              
 every word th

   
at I ever said
            
you would prob

              
ably question 

     
the life I hav

e led
            
you’d probably

              
 think I’m an 

           
evil broken pe

rson
              
and you would 

  
be right

[Chorus 1]
        
because I went

 downhill at s

uch steep incl

that my rearvi

ed me only the

and I laughed 

           
about it all n

and I said “he

y man, isn’t i

t poetic
            
that the sky i

           
s what we leav

e behind?”
             
'cause I was b

             
orn into the w

          
orld on a silk

en cloud
          
and I got bore

d of the world

 before I hit

[Verse 2]
             
and you’re the

             
 one who taugh

’s just someth

              
ing that peopl

  
e say
            
but I hope tha

[Verse 3]
             
because you we

              
re the first o

      
ne to show me 

the stars
              
and they don’t

 
 mean much to 

me
             
but I still wo

and some night

or so I heard 

from a friend
             
and does it me

        
an anything

d in town?
probably not
