Downhill - Lincoln

That’s just something people say

When they’re on their last leg and

They need someone to say something to help them cope

Or someone to say something hopeful

«I hope you’re okay»

But that’s just something people say

And if I meant every word that I ever said

You would probably question the life I have led

You’d probably think I’m an evil, broken person

And you would be right

Because I went downhill at such steep incline

That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

And I laughed about it all night

And I said «Hey man, isn’t it poetic

That the sky is what we leave behind?»

Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud

And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground

And you’re the one who taught me to be brave

I’ve never spent a moment loving anyone but you

And maybe that’s just something that people say

But I hope that you know it’s the truth

Because I went downhill at such steep incline

That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

And I laughed about it all night

Because you were the first one to show me the stars

And they don’t mean much to me, but I still wonder where you are

Some nights, I still try to find you relative to constellations

All your relatives are still on vacation, or so I heard from a friend

Does it mean anything that you stayed in town?

Probably not

I went downhill at such steep incline

That my rearview mirror showed me only the sky

And I laughed about it all night

And I said «Hey man, isn’t it poetic

That the sky is what we leave behind?»

Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud

And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground

«Hey man, isn’t it poetic

That the sky is what we leave behind?»

Because I was born into the world on a silken cloud

And I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
