How Many Blue Skies Have There Been?

(verse 1)

the times are changing

and I guess I'm staying the same

the days pass us right by

the players swap out like the rules of the game

I'm no longer little, but I'm not quite big

I just like spending time in the wind with you

is it okay to be in love with the ordinary?

the future splashes me like cold water

I can't swim up the rapid stream

I'm falling behind, I want to stay beside you

but I need to stop and take a breath too

in these turbulent times, it's best to slow down

if you don't look up or take a look around

how free can you feel, what are your ideals?

(chorus)

how many blue skies have there been above?

there are too many to count,

at least that's what I think

the sun rises and sets blink by blink

every day unchanging each week

even still we forget somethings

how many blue skies have there been above?

we can't let our youth just pass us right by

you and I live in daydreams

we should still look up every once in awhile

(at the clear sky for miles)

I hope you won't let who you are now go to waste

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

it's like the icy coldness opened up my eyes

the world outside our small town is full of lies

the life that I've been given

became heavy in my hands and

I thought "I'll do it someday"

eternity is still short anyway

I love you too much to let you throw away

another average regular day

let's run into the blue and the grey

(chorus)

how many blue skies have there been above?

there are too many to count,

at least that's what I think

the sun rises and sets blink by blink

every day unchanging each week

even still we forget somethings

how many blue skies have there been above?

we can't let our youth just pass us right by

you and I live in daydreams

we should still look up every once in awhile

(at the clear sky for miles)

I hope you won't let who you are now go to waste

(end chorus)

(bridge)

if you close your eyes there

you may be able to hear

the sound of what's still inside of you

neither ourselves or the skies up there are always sunny

I do not know

when the next blue sky will be

I'm looking up right now

hoping to start something

I won't let it get in my way

the something I can do today

and tomorrow and forever always

(chorus)

the next time the sky is blue again

you might notice it yourself right then

even if your tears are overflowing

the sun won't be crying

(if you really look up)

I hope as a result you'll become even stronger

we are alive right now

time is like a stream's flow

I won't wash away now

(end chorus)
