Alex the Astronaut - Split The Sky

I’ve been colder
Watching Harry Potter, looking older
I’ve been hoping
I have what it takes to keep rolling
That the rise and the fall of the tides
Won’t catch me and wash me aside
If I sit here and watch Harry Potter, will I be alright?

When I was little I ran up the hill
Chased cars and felt I didn’t think
I had much time, much time, much time
And up where I’d climbed, it felt so pretty
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
And I felt my life, my life, my life

But I’ve been colder
Sitting in my bedroom, looking older
Feeling like I’m underwater, smiling like a lie
Holding on to it all too tight

I’ve been hoping
I have what it takes to keep rolling
‘Cause I will not stay underwater, I’ll walk outside
I’ll split the sky, I’ll be alright

I remember being 17
Drinking cheap wine, sitting on suburban streets
To the galaxy feeling everything
We were the cowboys that threw up in taxis

Feels different being 23
I still throw up but I don’t feel like me
Now Curtis is working in sales
And I’d say I’ve lost my way a little bit

I’ve been colder
Sitting in my bedroom, looking older
Feeling like I’m underwater, smiling like a lie
Holding on to it all too tight

I’ve been hoping
I have what it takes to keep rolling
‘Cause I will not stay underwater, I’ll walk outside
I’ll split the sky, I’ll be alright

Tell all my friends, tell all my friends

When I’ve been hopeless, standing on the edge and looking over
When the night sits, heavy his hands on my shoulders
Somewhere I can see a light on
Maybe there’s always a light on
Maybe I’ve held on so tight and I just need to cry

Maybe, life is ten colours on top of each other
It goes, and it stops, it all comes at once
It’s grief, love, and time, it’s the seasons gone wild
A cathedral at night, it’s an ocean of tides

I’ve been colder
Watching Harry Potter, looking older
Feeling like I’m underwater, smiling like a lie
Holding on to it all too tight

I’ve been hoping
I have what it takes to keep rolling
‘Cause I will not stay underwater, I’ll walk outside
I’ll split the sky, I’ll be alright

Tell all my friends, tell all my friends
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends I’ll be alright
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends

And up where I’d climbed, it felt so pretty
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
