Skyboy Album Lyrics by Duncan Laurence

Life On The Moon

It's hard for a man to admit he's afraid the dark
And the loneliness that comes along with it
I closed my eyes too many nights by myself
I stopped believing and came up with questions
Like, "Will I find love? Am I good Enough?"
I floated along and circled the world by myself

You were the sun, my beam of light
Gave me my bright side
The other side's doomed
If there's life on the moon
It's all 'cause of you
It's all 'cause of you
Life on the moon

You took the lead with me
What did you see in me?
My cold empty heart
Covered in dark most of the times
The ones who pass by drift away

You were the sun, my beam of light
Gave me my bright side
The other side's doomed
If there's life on the moon
It's all 'cause of you
It's all 'cause of you

Life on the moon
My point of view
You make my world so beautiful
Life on the moon
My point of view
You make my world so beautiful

You were the sun, my beam of light
Gave me my bright side
The other side's doomed
If there's life on the moon
It's all 'cause of you
It's all 'cause of you

Life on the moon

Electric Life

There's no pain in paradise
No heartbreak in Heaven
No Mondays or traffic lights
How could it be real?
You're up near the satellites
You left in a second
Yeah, that was the only time the earth stood still

Velvet skies when I close my eyes
Free-falling into another space and time
I miss you and your electric life
(Shine on bright)
Beautiful to the bitter end (ah)
You blew away like glitter in the wind (ah-ah)
I miss you and your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life

Take a look at the milky way
At 11:11
Are any of these shooting stars
A message from you?
Is there any other way?
Got millions of questions
But one always breaks my heart (it breaks my heart)
And so does the truth

Velvet skies when I close my eyes
Free falling into another space and time
I miss you and your electric life
(Shine on bright)
Beautiful to the bitter end (ah)
You blew away like glitter in the wind (ah-ah)
I miss you and your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life (your electric life)
Ah ah ah, your electric life

Ah ah ah, your electric life
Ah ah ah, your electric life

Rest In Peace

La, la, la, love me or na, na, not
Love me or na, na, not
Love me or let me rest in-

Woke up in a bad mood
Didn't get to see you
Blissful in my dreams, you snuck out in my sleep
Now I wanna hate you
Mystery
Do you even miss me?
When I turn around, you'll be back in town
The truth is gonna kill me

Wish you didn't come today
If you're just gonna leave tomorrow
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
That I ask myself, ("Am I still enough?")
Don't give me a single thing
If it's only something borrowed
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
That I ask myself, ("Am I still in love?")

La, la, la, love me or na, na, not
Love me or na, na, not
Love me or let me rest in peace

Heard your tires on the gravel
Won't put up a battle
It's heaven for a weekend, then a week of demons
Best I ever had though

Wish you didn't come today
If you're just gonna leave tomorrow
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
That I ask myself, ("Am I still enough?")
Don't give me a single thing
If it's only something borrowed
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
That I ask myself, "Am I still in love?"
Oh

La, la, la (oh-oh), love me or na, na, not (love me, love me or not)
Love me or na, na, not
Love me or let me rest in peace
La, la, la, love me or (oh) na, na, not (oh-oh)
Love me or na, na, not
Love me or (oh) let me rest in peace
La, la, la, love me or na, na, not
Love me or na, na, not
Love me or let me rest in peace

Skyboy

Dad's in his car
Mom's in a dress
You spilled the tea on your Sunday best
She said "I love you"
But it's just not right
Now you turned 18 with a broken mind
You had to learn to lie to be honest
You had to learn to fly to get somewhere

Had to sit up straight
Hide your sin
'Cause they won't forgive you like the other kids
You said "Should I change who I am for this little town
Full of big old heads"
You had to learn to cry to feel something
You had to learn to fly to get somewhere

So take your neon shoes to the city
When the trumpet sounds at least you'll look pretty
You're going high, just fly, boy
Enjoy the ride, skyboy

You fell in love with a bitter guy
He broke you down and he took your smile
You got it wrong but you'll get it right
You got to trust yourself and hold your head up high

So take your neon shoes to the city
When the trumpet sounds at least you'll look pretty
You're going high, just fly, boy
Enjoy the ride, skyboy

Just fly
And if you can't find heaven
Just make your own paradise
Your happiness is worth the sacrifice
Just fly

So take your neon shoes to the city
And when the trumpet sounds at least you'll look pretty
You're going high, just fly, boy
Enjoy the ride, skyboy

So take your neon shoes to the city

I Want It All

I suddenly realized
There's only so much time
I want to give you mine
I know
I made a few mistakes
Been someone that I hate
Trying to heal

Old habits
Die tragic

Need you to love me
Like no one has loved me before (oh)
I want it all (oh)
Wanted it all my life
I want the good and the bad
The highs and the lows (oh)
Can't wait anymore (oh)
I've waited all my life for you

I'm done with the old charades
Longing for better days
Something that's real
I gave everything to you
Show me that you would do the same

I just
Need you to love me
Like no one has loved me before (oh)
I want it all (oh)
Wanted it all my life
I want the good and the bad
The highs and the lows (oh)
Can't wait anymore (oh)
I've waited all my life for you (oh)
You (oh)
I've waited all my life for you (oh)
You (oh)
I've waited all my life

Old habits
Die tragic
There's magic
In madness

Need you to love me
Like no one has loved me before (oh)
I want it all (oh)
Wanted it all my life
And I want the good and the bad
The highs and the lows (oh)
Can't wait anymore (oh)
I've waited all my life for you

California Rose

Dug myself out of the deepest trenches
Several times my world has ended
But I still survive, I still get through
Burned my feet outrunning forest fires
Fell in love with outright liars
But I still survive, I still get through
Nothing rips me up like loving you

I've had daisies so sweet
But no flower competes with my

Rose in California
Cut my hands every time I hold you
Had my heart ever since I've known you
California Rose
Rose in California
All my love to the place that bore you
Sunny skies with a chance of torture
California rose

I've gone down with ships
But I'm still swimming
Stolen from, but I'm still giving trust
Trust me when I say, "I've almost died"
Chewed up, spit out by volcanos
Tossed around by big tornados
Until you I swear I've never cried
Oh, you're my

Rose in California
Cut my hands every time I hold you
Had my heart ever since I've known you
California Rose
Rose in California
All my love to the place that bore you
Sunny skies with a chance of torture
California rose

California rose
California rose

Rose in California
Cut my hands every time I hold you
Had my heart ever since I've known you
California Rose
Rose in California
All my love to the place that bore you
Sunny skies with a chance of torture
California rose

Lucid Dream

Take me back to summer
Where the sunshine is my lover
I don't have to run for cover
When a storm breaks out

Take me back to space
The gravity makes my bones ache
I just wanna drift away
But I don't know how lucid dream

The only place I wanna go
When I fall asleep lucid dream
What I supposed to know
What does it mean?

I was born in April
Hand delivered by an angel
Tried to fly but wasn't able

Till I close my eyes the first year I slept easy
But I grew and felt more feelings

I was looking for a healing
A little sleep at night lucid dream

The only place I wanna go
When I fall asleep lucid dream
What I supposed to know
What does it mean? Lucid dream
The only place I wanna go
When I fall asleep lucid dream
What I supposed to know?

Baby Blues

I've been a bed of clouds in your baby blues
Fluffy but heavy, got rain in my belly
Been taking it out on you
Stuck in the darkest mood

But as soon as I feel the sun
I'll let it shine on through

Baby, I know you're waiting
I'm changing, please be patient
I'm only human, I'm anxious
I'm foolish working my way through it
It's all for you, hoping the sun will shine

I wanna fix my head
My heart is with you
Trying to move mountains, throw fortunes in fountains
I'll sleep with the ugly truth
Whatever it takes to prove

That as soon as I feel the sun
I'll let it shine on through

Baby, I know you're waiting
I'm changing, please be patient
I'm only human, I'm anxious
I'm foolish working my way through it
It's all for you, hoping the sun will shine

I've been a bed of clouds in your baby blues

Broken Parts

Grew up thinking boys don't cry
A couple bruises down the line
It hurt, but no one can tell
Highschool years were pretty rough
They didn't teach me all that much
But I learned to be someone else

Why did I cover up my scars?
Wouldn't throw a blanket on a work of art
Took my whole life to get this far
I'm finally falling in love with my broken parts
Finally falling in love

The mirror shows a different guy
I guess the old me said goodbye
It's odd to see him go
I'm sure there's still some work to do
I guess I'll cry a tear or two
And who knows, maybe there's room to grow?

Why did I cover up my scars?
Wouldn't throw a blanket on a work of art
Took my whole life to get this far
I'm finally falling in love with my broken parts
Finally falling in love
Finally falling in love

Took my whole life to fall this hard for my broken parts
Took my whole life to fall this hard

Why did I cover up my scars?
Wouldn't throw a blanket on a work of art
Took my whole life to get this far
I'm finally falling in love with my broken parts
Finally falling in love
Finally falling in love

Took my whole life to fall this hard for my broken parts
Took my whole life to fall this hard for my broken parts

Anything

I had a vision of you
Dancing too close to the cliff's edge
So I build a wall around you
To keep you safe from a misstep

I had a dream about you
Burning your hand on a stovetop
And I woke up worried for you
And took every knob on that stove off

Ooh, I'd do anything for you
Ooh, I'd do anything for love
Nothing could ever be too much
I'd do anything for us

I had a vision of you
Leaving me for someone prettier
So I found the fountain of youth
To make sure that I'll never wither

I had a dream about you
Burning in hell when you leave us
I talked to the big man for you
My first conversation with Jesus

Ooh, I'd do anything for you
Oh, I'd do anything for love
Nothing could ever be too much
I'd do anything for us

Oh, I'd do anything for you (
Oh, I'd give anything for love (
Nothing could ever be too much
I'd do anything for us
For us
Ooh, us

Biting My Tongue

The light was shining on your face
I drew the map so I could plan out my escape
The hands are circling on my watch
Another minute just a prisoner of my thoughts

What if it all goes wrong, like it usually does?
I'm still playing tug of war between my head and heart

Just another night biting my tongue
Too afraid to talk, so the words get lost
Should've said it when the night was young
Scared of breaking my heart shooting for the stars

We were listening to a song
It's like they stole the lyrics straight out of my thoughts
Sang every word I could say
I hope you noticed, but you never sang along

Of course it always goes wrong, like it usually does
I'm still playing tug of war between my head and heart

Just another night biting my tongue
Too afraid to talk, so the words get lost
Should've said it when the night was young
Scared of breaking my heart shooting for the stars

Just another night biting my tongue
Too afraid to talk, so the words get lost
Should've said it when the night was young
Scared of breaking my heart shooting for the stars
Just another night biting my tongue
Scared of breaking my heart shooting for the stars
