[Verse 1]
I left my keys on the kitchen table
Next to the note that said “don’t come looking”
Barefoot on the fire escape, 4 a.m. air tastes like maybe
City below me snoring, I’m finally awake
The streetlights look like spilled champagne
Bubbles rising slow, calling my name
I laugh too loud, scare a couple pigeons into flight
They get it; tonight we’re ditching the script, alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart’s doing that stupid flutter thing again
Like it remembers how to dream before the fall sets in
[Chorus]
I’m skybound, baby, skybound
No parachute, just the sound
Of my own laugh echoing off the clouds
Skybound, skybound
If I come apart up here, at least I’m scattered proud
[Verse 2]
Remember that summer we swore we’d run away?
You drew constellations on my arm with cheap blue ink
They washed off in the rain, but I still feel ’em when the wind hits just right
Funny how some things stick even when they fade from sight
I’m humming that dumb song you loved
The one your dad played on his cracked old Tele
Every note feels like borrowing tomorrow
And paying it back with interest in hello
[Chorus]
I’m skybound, baby, skybound
No promises, just right now
Spinning slow like vinyl in the clouds
Skybound, skybound
If love’s a free fall, I’m already upside down
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
And if you wake up wondering where I went
Tell the morning I’m not lost
I’m just busy learning how the sky tastes
When you kiss it with everything you’ve got
[Final Chorus]
Skybound, yeah I’m skybound
Leave the ground shaking its head like “that kid’s wild”
Skybound, skybound
Catch me smiling at the sunrise like it owes me something
I’m skybound, baby
And for once that feels like enough
[Outro]
Mmm-hmm… skybound.
