(My Beautiful) Terrace in the Sky



Maybe I think I’m just a little too special
Maybe there’s nothing gets to me
Maybe up here it’s just a little too beautiful
Maybe I’m way too high to see

The city sounds so far away so early in the morning
And I can see you sitting by my side
This is where I wanna be when it all comes crashing down
I wanna see it from my beautiful terrace in the sky

So is there nothing left we share in common?
Are we from different countries?
Why are we tearing down? We’re tearing down to save it I guess I’ll
Check the pile for signs of life come daylight

The city sounds so far away so early in the morning
And I can see you sitting by my side
This is where I wanna be when it all comes crashing down
I wanna see it from my beautiful terrace in the sky

Watching the buildings and the villages burning
Seeing the borders slip away
I feel like I’m tumbling down and you’re not gonna save me this time I’ll
Learn to fall or learn to fly

The city sounds so far away so early in the morning
And I can see you sitting by my side
This is where I wanna be when it all comes crashing down
I wanna see it from my beautiful terrace in the sky

So maybe I think I’m just a little too special
Maybe there’s nothing gets to me
Maybe up here it’s just a little too beautiful
Maybe I’m way too high to see
Maybe I’m way too high to see
Maybe I’m way too high to see….
