The Sky Between Us

The lights go up like oceans in the air A million voices calling out I’m here They lift me high until I barely breathe But none of it is touching what I need Gold on my skin, thunder in my name Every step I take feels more like flame I built a world that bends to what I do But it all fades the second I see you Tell me why the highest heights still fall When I hear your voice above it all The sky between us isn’t far enough Every star I reach for only burns my touch I could own the night, I could own the dawn But I’m still chasing where your light is from Every crown they put upon my head Only pulls me back to what you said If I could hold the air you breathe That would be everything to me I’ve walked through fires just to feel alive Turned every doubt into a place I climb But every victory dissolves into grey When I imagine you so far away They cheer my name like it’s a holy sound But I do t hear it when you’re not around It’s like the world keeps trying to replace The missing truth I see in your face What is glory if it doesn’t call your name What is power if it feels the same The sky between us isn’t far enough Every star I reach for only burns my touch I could own the night, I could own the dawn But I’m still chasing where your light is from Every crown they put upon my head Only pulls me back to what you said If I could hold the air you breathe That would be everything to me Let the heavens open wide Let the whole world collide I would still be reaching through Every endless mile I’ve run Every kingdom I’ve become Only leads me back to you The sky between us isn’t far enough Every star I reached for only burns my touch I could rule the dark, I could own the flame But I’d trade it all to hear your name Every echo turns into your sound Every victory pulls me down If I could stand where you are free That would be everything to me
