[Verse 1]
When you're pulled around and shaken
But you're holding on
Everything around you's changing
Like revolving doors
Picking up the broken parts
I know you hide
And I've been everywhere you are
I know you're tired
[Chorus]
I see the tears you cry
One day they will dry
Yes, they're going to dry
Every question why
That keeps you lying awake at night
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
[Verse 2]
No redemption in sight
But the light's not gone
Something in you knows the lines
And wants to sing along
I'm never going to be too far
Too far away
When trouble's rolling in like waves
I'll stay
[Chorus]
I see the tears you cry
One day they will dry
Yes, they're going to dry
And every question why
That keeps you lying awake at night
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Oh, leave it to the sky
[Bridge]
That star hanging in the sky
Is keeping a close eye on you
I'll do my best to try and do the same
[Chorus]
I see the tears you cry
One day they will dry
Yes, they're going to dry
Every question why
The answer in the sky
So leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
[Outro]
All of this, all of this
Would be better if we live together
All of this, all of this
Would be better if we live together
All of this, all of this
Would be better if we live together
All of this, all of this
Could be better if we live together
When you're pulled around and shaken
But you're holding on
Everything around you's changing
Like revolving doors
Picking up the broken parts
I know you hide
And I've been everywhere you are
I know you're tired
[Chorus]
I see the tears you cry
One day they will dry
Yes, they're going to dry
Every question why
That keeps you lying awake at night
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
[Verse 2]
No redemption in sight
But the light's not gone
Something in you knows the lines
And wants to sing along
I'm never going to be too far
Too far away
When trouble's rolling in like waves
I'll stay
[Chorus]
I see the tears you cry
One day they will dry
Yes, they're going to dry
And every question why
That keeps you lying awake at night
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Oh, leave it to the sky
[Bridge]
That star hanging in the sky
Is keeping a close eye on you
I'll do my best to try and do the same
[Chorus]
I see the tears you cry
One day they will dry
Yes, they're going to dry
Every question why
The answer in the sky
So leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
Leave it to the sky
[Outro]
All of this, all of this
Would be better if we live together
All of this, all of this
Would be better if we live together
All of this, all of this
Would be better if we live together
All of this, all of this
Could be better if we live together
