I guess you could say
My tall bedroom walls
Don't know color at all
They've never seen the fall
I won't run away
When leaves start to fall
And leave shadows on my walls
As all that remains of you
So if it's okay
With my bedroom walls
Who once and for all
Will finally face the fall
Well, I'll ask them to stay
And I'll reach up so tall
I bought wallpaper
To cover all of the shadows of you
The shadows of you
And I'll see
That the ceiling
Won't reflect all the times
I chose to ignore
All the "should-bes"
And the "could-bes"
And I'll make sure
"Maybe" doesn't mean "yes" anymore
So I guess you could say
The twilight this fall
Won't cast shadows at all
On my tall bedroom walls
But as much as I say
That the colors this fall
On my wallpaper
Will cover all of you
It might be okay
If a bit of you stays on me
If your shadow stays on...
My eyes sure like the ground
Since my mouth lost sound
'Cause my heart got bound
And tied and tossed out to the street
My neck's accustomed to
Brushing off all cues
From the sky so blue
I lost the sun to the black concrete
But now I wonder:
Is it so damn hard to look up?
So if I could scream right now
Like a sonic plow
Through the air somehow
Wake up the hearts scattered down the street
'Cause our heads are down these days
A collective gaze
In a sidewalk haze
Kicked to the curb underneath our feet
But I'm pretty sure it's easier,
Oh, surely, it's easier
Oh, wouldn't it be easier if we all looked up?
Maybe we should just look up
We are one big constellation
We can light up a sky
We can spark imagination
If we only try
We're a cosmic celebration
So let's paint the sky
Let's look up
Let's look up
The sky won't run away
So if my eyes stay
On the ground today
I'll try tomorrow for more blue
'Cause I can't keep breathing ground
And ignoring sound
Of the light surrounding
This little world for something new
And I pray for that one day
When I face the fear to say
There's just gotta be a better way
If I just look up
