Annie Scherer - Skyline Lyrics

I always said that I'd be something great
I said I'd let go of my spirit for a star on my name
Naivety shadowing all the distance over me
But now I know
Now I know
I used to read about a place of curiosities
I'd see those places every time I fell asleep
And rabbit holes don't get old
I needed something new to fuel my growth
'Cause I just bought a ticket to the skyline
And I'm not coming back till I see the light
Now I'll know how it feels touching gold
And I swear I've been here before
I miss my mom, I miss my father holding both my hands
I reminisce the sound of their footsteps coming down the stairs
But I'd do anything just to be a bird and spread my wings
'Cause I just bought a ticket to the skyline
And I'm not coming back till I see the light
Now I'll know how it feels touching gold
And I swear I've been here before
And as I am standing here before Heaven's gates
I plead and wait for them to make the final verdict
And even I have lived in oblivion
There's nothing to make me an exception
And Heaven can wait for me
I swear some day I'll be free
So I returned my ticket to the skyline
One day I'll learn what it feels like
I will know, all that glitters isn't gold
'Cause maybe I have been here before

I always said that I'd be something great
I said I'd let go of my spirit for a star on my name
Naivety shadowing all the distance over me
But now I know
Now I know
I used to read about a place of curiosities
I'd see those places every time I fell asleep
And rabbit holes don't get old
I needed something new to fuel my growth
'Cause I just bought a ticket to the skyline
And I'm not coming back till I see the light
Now I'll know how it feels touching gold
And I swear I've been here before
I miss my mom, I miss my father holding both my hands
I reminisce the sound of their footsteps coming down the stairs
But I'd do anything just to be a bird and spread my wings
'Cause I just bought a ticket to the skyline
And I'm not coming back till I see the light
Now I'll know how it feels touching gold
And I swear I've been here before
And as I am standing here before Heaven's gates
I plead and wait for them to make the final verdict
And even I have lived in oblivion
There's nothing to make me an exception
And Heaven can wait for me
I swear some day I'll be free
So I returned my ticket to the skyline
One day I'll learn what it feels like
I will know, all that glitters isn't gold
'Cause maybe I have been here before
