Story Behind The Song
Another song written by Joe, the lead singer/ guitarist. This was written post Like Cocaine and refers to the same relationship but in a new light of letting go, but still being unsure of what to feel.
Song Description
This song is also based around the same time as Like Cocaine was written, but after the fact of that relationship. This song is more about letting go of old feelings and drifting to a better place. Letting the mind go, and maybe letting the body go with, almost wanting to die. The song also poses confusion between reality and dreams. They are both intertwining from the mixture of emotions from a past intense relationship. Everything seems so bright up in the sky, why not float there.

Lyrics
The sky is so bright
It's almost inviting me
To feel the breeze and float away
My dreams are they reality
Or is my reality a dream?
Well I don't know no more
So tie me down
Before I get too high
And fly away
To where I belong
Drifting feels so easy
You won't weigh me down
Well I can't let you now
Now everything begins to intertwine
So what's real anymore?
Why do I see my new life in the sky?
Sublime
Do you want me to die?
Oh, woah
But it's so bright tonight
It's so bright tonight
The sky
