Split the Sky Lyrics by Alex the Astronaut

The Theory of Absolutely Nothing

2020

[Verse 1]
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 tide
Won't catch me and wash me aside
If I sit here and watch Harry Potter
Will I be alright?
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I remember being seventeen
Drinking cheap wine, sitting on suburban streets
To the galaxy, feeling everything
We were the cowboys who threw up in taxis
Feels different being twenty-three
I still throw up and I don't feel like me
Now Curtis is working in sales
And I'd say I've lost my way a little bit
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Tell all my friends, tell all my friends
[Bridge]
And 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 some time 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
[Chorus]
But 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
[Post-Chorus]
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
[Outro]
And up where I'd climbed and felt so pretty
All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
