Upside-Down

The skies above me falling down

No place to go to escape from it

Sometimes I wish it would just go away from my life

I’m lying out under the clouds

I’m sleeping through all my precious time

I used to waste my time dreaming of leaving this place

(Now I only waste it dreaming of home)



Chorus:

Turn upside-down and turn down the sky

All of the clouds rain the tears that I cry

And all the pain that fills me up will go away

Like the snow in the spring



The skies above me falling down

No place to go to escape from it

I used to waste my time on…

Waste my time on…

Waste my time dreaming of leaving this place

(Now I only waste it dreaming of home)



(Chorus)



I’ve got nightmares

While moonlight shines through my open window

I’ve got nightmares

While moonlight shines through my open window

I lay awake

The skies above me falling down



(Chorus)
