"For Skye" lyrics

Skye, what does it mean to be kind?
The things they taught you as a child
To say thank you and to smile
And to send a birthday card
To the weird kid who no one liked?

Sometimes, I've found those gestures to be lies
But then I've found myself on trial
Walking the loneliest of miles
And how much it means
Just to be seen in those times

Skye, you must have X-ray eyes
You saw right through my fake smiles
You know how kids wait to cry
Until they have permission
A safe haven where it's alright

Do the world a favour and come out tonight
Do the world a favour and come out tonight
Everybody wants to see Skye
We want to see Skye
We want to see Skye
We want to see Skye

Skye
Love letters want replies
If you keep sending them despite
Getting no answer from the other
Mail your hopes to another

Oh, Skye, I wanna get you drunk and high
Skye
I wanna hear your heart sigh
Get on the dance floor
What do you long for in your life? Oh

Do the world a favour and come out tonight
Do the world a favour and come out tonight
Everybody wants to see Skye
We want to see Skye
We want to see Skye
We want to see Skye

Skye
Oh, Skye
Skye
Oh

Skye, I saw myself in your eyes
I'd give myself the same advice
I know I'm stuck, I'm in denial
But I'm not ready to surrender
There's still a number I haven't dialed
