lyrics

Silver clouds turn white in the moonshine
Lovers stay awake at night smokin’ in bed
Streetlights warm the world beneath the skyline
Sylvia lies cold outside resting her head

She’s thinking
Which paths are the right ones?
Pray God I survive one
When it’s dark at night, which I’m supposed to go?
I’m lying on the ground, feels like I’ve fallen far below
There are secrets that I never knew
Can you see into me, if I see into you?

Oh, should I wish to be up there?
With the fashion queens, with the sweet sixteens
Remember me and the little girl in my bones

Oh, please call me Sylvia,
Sylvia

Sylvia rests her eyes in the night-time
Dreaming of the very life that she lives today
‘Cause all her friends she’d known are on the breadline
Now she has nowhere to go or a friend to betray

She’s dreamin’
Which paths are the right ones?
Pray God I survive one
I look around to which way I’m supposed to go
Will I make it out before it starts to snow?

There are secrets that I never knew
Do you see right through me, If I see right through you?

Oh, should I wish to be up there?
To make my home on Mars with the movie stars
The world was ours, but at some point you withdrew

Sylvia
