Eyes like the sky
Face like an angel
The sun that rose and set above my bed
So bittersweet, some kind of savior
All the smoke and bitter feeling from my head
But in the light of day it all gets clearer
When you see it through the rearview mirror
[Chorus]
It shakes me, turns around and wakes me up
Fake backdrop skies
What a beautiful lie
You paint me pictures of daydreams
No one, no way
Just a beautiful lie
Nothing to hold, only a promise
You were the sand that kept on falling through my hands
A house made of cards, a state full of players
No one to trust, no ending, nowhere I could stand
But in the light of day it all gets clearer
When you see it through the rearview mirror
[Repeat Chorus]
Late at night in a dream
How you wanted me
Blowing in through the wind
Doesn't have to be
Coming in like static on the radio
Should have known, but I didn't know
Like clouds in the sky
Like waves going by
I swear that I could fly
But I came crashing down
This hurt all around
It shakes me, turns around and wakes me up
Fake backdrop skies
What a beautiful lie
What a beautiful lie
What a beautiful lie
Clouds in the sky
Like waves going by
No one, no way
Just a beautiful lie
