Skyline by The Spring Standards Lyrics
[Verse]
I was wandering through midtown when you caught my eye
I looked at people looking up at you
All the time I spent so close to you and now it’s through
You’re the wall but, honey, I’m the fly
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I knew
All the sides of you
[Verse]
From this distance there are things that finally make some sense
I can see why this appeals to you
All the people looking up at you have no clue
Whereas I now have some confidence
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I knew
All the sides of you
[Chorus]
But I get it now
And I can’t say that I’m surprised
He’s got it down
You skipped the race but won the prize
You’re part of the skyline now
[Verse]
I was thumbing through a magazine mindlessly
When I caught you staring back at me
Until recently I got to see your face for free
Sleep was all it cost to take you home with me
[Pre-Chorus]
When I knew
All the sides of you
[Chorus]
But I get it now
You gotta make the ends meet
I’ve got it now
Advancing to a calculated treat
You’re part of the skyline
Yeah I get it now
I guess I knew it all along
I’ve got it now
And no one left who knows you’re wrong
You’re part of the skyline (part of the skyline)
(La la la skyline)
Now
I was wandering through midtown when you caught my eye
I looked at people looking up at you
All the time I spent so close to you and now it’s through
You’re the wall but, honey, I’m the fly
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I knew
All the sides of you
[Verse]
From this distance there are things that finally make some sense
I can see why this appeals to you
All the people looking up at you have no clue
Whereas I now have some confidence
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I knew
All the sides of you
[Chorus]
But I get it now
And I can’t say that I’m surprised
He’s got it down
You skipped the race but won the prize
You’re part of the skyline now
[Verse]
I was thumbing through a magazine mindlessly
When I caught you staring back at me
Until recently I got to see your face for free
Sleep was all it cost to take you home with me
[Pre-Chorus]
When I knew
All the sides of you
[Chorus]
But I get it now
You gotta make the ends meet
I’ve got it now
Advancing to a calculated treat
You’re part of the skyline
Yeah I get it now
I guess I knew it all along
I’ve got it now
And no one left who knows you’re wrong
You’re part of the skyline (part of the skyline)
(La la la skyline)
Now
