Skyfall Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
I met a wise man
He said what are you running from
I met a blind man
Said the world is just so beautiful
I met a girl
In her final hours
Told me time is not worth saving
Open your heart, don’t get impatient
[PRE-HOOK]
Ooooh yeah
We don’t know what we don’t know
Too worried ‘bout if we sink or float
But we’re counting on tomorrow like it’s ours
We’re going down on a sinking boat
But it’s hard to drown in the shallow
If the stars all lose their light tonight
What’s left of mine?
[HOOK]
When we lose it all
And the curtain falls
The show will still go on
Hopin’ someone remembers us
When we lose it all
And the sky is falling
Down on our design
No we can’t run away from time
I met a wise man
He said what are you running from
I met a blind man
Said the world is just so beautiful
I met a girl
In her final hours
Told me time is not worth saving
Open your heart, don’t get impatient
[PRE-HOOK]
Ooooh yeah
We don’t know what we don’t know
Too worried ‘bout if we sink or float
But we’re counting on tomorrow like it’s ours
We’re going down on a sinking boat
But it’s hard to drown in the shallow
If the stars all lose their light tonight
What’s left of mine?
[HOOK]
When we lose it all
And the curtain falls
The show will still go on
Hopin’ someone remembers us
When we lose it all
And the sky is falling
Down on our design
No we can’t run away from time
[VERSE 2]
When I was younger I thought I saw my grandma in the sky
Told me, go and wipe your eyes
Nothing good ever came easy and success will make you greedy
Don’t go thinking you’re the reason you’re on
Cause then when you’re down, you’ll go blaming yourself
Just keep it movin’ don’t you forget where you came from
Know your mistakes don’t make the same ones
[PRE-HOOK]
Ooooh yeah
We don’t know what we don’t know
Too worried bout if we sink or float
But we’re counting on tomorrow like it’s ours
We’re going down on a sinking boat
But it’s hard to drown in the shallow
If the stars all lose their light tonight
What’s left of mine?
[HOOK]
When we lose it all
And the curtain falls
Show will still go on
Hoping someone remembers us
When we lose it all
And the sky is falling
Down on our design
No we can’t run away from time
When I was younger I thought I saw my grandma in the sky
Told me, go and wipe your eyes
Nothing good ever came easy and success will make you greedy
Don’t go thinking you’re the reason you’re on
Cause then when you’re down, you’ll go blaming yourself
Just keep it movin’ don’t you forget where you came from
Know your mistakes don’t make the same ones
[PRE-HOOK]
Ooooh yeah
We don’t know what we don’t know
Too worried bout if we sink or float
But we’re counting on tomorrow like it’s ours
We’re going down on a sinking boat
But it’s hard to drown in the shallow
If the stars all lose their light tonight
What’s left of mine?
[HOOK]
When we lose it all
And the curtain falls
Show will still go on
Hoping someone remembers us
When we lose it all
And the sky is falling
Down on our design
No we can’t run away from time
[BRIDGE]
When we lose it all
When we lose it all
And we can’t control our past, we can let it go
We’re holding onto broken glass
And we all need to let it go
All need to let it go
[HOOK]
When we lose it all
And the sky is falling
Down we’ll be alright
Cause we'll realize we’re alive
When we lose it all
When we lose it all
And we can’t control our past, we can let it go
We’re holding onto broken glass
And we all need to let it go
All need to let it go
[HOOK]
When we lose it all
And the sky is falling
Down we’ll be alright
Cause we'll realize we’re alive
