Sky
For looking at the sky, my girl left me
for looking at the sky, I lost my job
my eyes can't count all that I see
crashed my new car, for looking at the sky.
For looking at the sky, I show up late and sleep-deprived
for looking at the sky, I don’t care where I go
I climbed to the heights and also hit the ground
but I never sold out, for looking at the sky
no, no, I never sold out, for looking at the sky.
Do I see things that no one else can see?
I’m going crazy, losing my mind
my true love, I saw her first
since then I’ve waited, staring at the sky.
There’s no superstition,
no religion,
it’s just that I like
to look at the sky
Why so much pain?
Why so much sleeplessness?
if in the end, good or bad,
we all live under the same sky,
as my grandpa used to say.
Early in the morning, when the sun comes up
I make love to my true love
and almost at midnight, under the stars
I keep looking at the sky, beneath her
I keep looking at the sky, beneath her.
There’s no superstition,
no religion,
it’s just that I like
to look at the sky
Why so much pain?
Why so much sleeplessness?
if in the end, good or bad,
we all live under the same sky.
