Stuck between the do or die  
I feel emaciated  
Hard to breathe I try and try  
I'll get asphyxiated  
Swinging from the tallest height  
With nothing left to hold on to  

Every sky is blue  
But not for me and you  

Come home [Repeats]

Glass and petrol vodka gin  
It feels like breathing methane  
Throw yourself from skin to skin  
And still it doesn't dull the pain  
Vanish like a lipstick trace, 
It always blows me away. 

Every cloud is gray, 
With dreams of yesterday. 

Come home  [Repeats]

Always goes against the grain, 
And I can try and deny it, 
Give a monkey half a brain, 
And still he's bound to fry it, 
Now the happening scene is dead, 
I used to want to be there too, 

Every sky is blue, 
But not for me and you, 

Come home,  [Repeats]
