"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
I want to 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
Oh, Skye
Oh
