Skylight Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stuck in a haze
Couldn't be better
It's all I ever wanted
Let's stay here forever
Life gets so loud
We don't need to listen
You make me feel like Friday
When I'm Sunday P.M

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Let's climb out through the skylight
We can watch the sunset fall into the nighttime
Then roll into the sunrise
Slowly

[Chorus]
We don't need to rush this feeling, feeling
Trying is a waste of time
We don't need to rush, just breathe out, breathe in
Flying is a state of mind
Oh-oh-oh, oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Visions of you
Fade into me
I never have the words
But you unravel them free
I'm paper thin
Rolled up in your love
Lighting me emerald
As you're lifting me up
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Let's climb out through the skylight
We can watch the sunset falling for the last time
Then breathe into the sunrise
Holy

[Chorus]
We don't need to rush this feeling, feeling
Trying is a waste of time
We don't need to rush, just breathe out, breathe in
Flying is a state of mind, mm
Oh-oh-oh, oh, yeah

[Bridge]
We don't need to rush
'Cause trying is a waste of time
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
We don't need to rush this feeling, feeling
Trying is a waste of time
We don't need to rush, just breathe out, breathe in
Flying is a state of mind

[Outro]
Stuck in a haze
Couldn't be better
It's all I ever wanted
Let's stay here forever

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
