[Verse 1]
              
That’s just so

              
mething people

  
 say
              
When they’re o

         
n their last l

eg and
            
They need some

              
one to say som

       
ething to help

 them cope
            
Or someone to 

              
say something 

  
hopeful
              
“I hope you’re

   
 okay”
              
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 p

 
erson
              
And you would 

    
be right


[Chorus]
             
Because I went

             
 downhill at s

uch steep incl

ine
            
That my rearvi

              
ew mirror show

      
ed me only the

 sky
             
And I laughed 

              
about it all n


ight
             
And I said “He

              
y man, isn’t i

  
t poetic
             
That the sky i

           
s what we leav

e behind?”
              
Because I was 

             
born into the 

            
world on a sil

ken cloud
            
And I got bore

              
d of the world

           
 before I hit 

the ground


[Verse 2]
            
And you’re the

             
 one who taugh

          
t me to be bra

ve
            
I’ve never spe

            
nt a moment lo

             
ving anyone bu

   
t you
              
And maybe that

             
’s just someth

              
ing that peopl

  
e say
            
But I hope tha

             
t you know it’

        
s the truth


[Chorus]
             
Because I went

              
 downhill at s

    
uch steep incl

ine
            
That my rearvi

 sky
             
And I laughed 

              
about it all n


ight


[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 stil

l wonder where

 you are
            
Some nights, I

              
 still try to 

  
find you
            
relative to co

     
nstellations
            
All your relat

              
ives are still

     
 on vacation, 

or
    
so I heard fro

m a friend
            
Does it mean a

            
nything that y

            
ou stayed in t

own?

Probably not


[Chorus]
             
I went downhil

           
l at such stee

p incline
            
That my rearvi

And I laughed

And I said “He

That the sky i

Because I was

And I got bore
