clouds from sidesteps by dahlay

I’ve always spent so much time yearning for what’s next
The next step, the next milestone, the next stage
Always looking beyond, to elevate higher, travel further
But maybe, I’m right where I need to be

Got my head up in the clouds
Why's my head up in the clouds?
Got my head up in the clouds
Why's my head up in the clouds?

Look where you from
Look where you is
Are you the same kid who left the hometown
that you said you’d never miss?
Reminisce on all things that you’d imagined
How many of your dreams did you never capture?
Did you think what would happen in your absence?
Did you know that this world would be a labyrinth?
Tell me, were you lost among the magic?
When you moved to a new city and vanished
Fighting the feeling that somehow you added
The nails to the casket where your past lived
And you act as if your new town,
be a little greener where the grass is
But you know at home they barely manage
If you found a way back would you grab it?

Got my head up in the clouds, too afraid to look down
Got my head up in the clouds, is it too late to look down?
Got my head up in the clouds, do raindrops ever look down?
Got my head up in the clouds, am I on my way down?

Got my head up in the clouds
Why's my head up in the clouds?
Got my head up in the clouds
Why's my head up in the clouds?

Look where you from
Look where you been
Did you become the man that you said you'd be and are you even proud of him?
Was it worth losing those who felt your abandonment?
In the name of ambitions and passions lived?
Was your hunger for more so ravenous,
That you couldn't stick by for your fam and them
Look around and ask who you laughing with?
Did you fight from your heart? were you pacifist?
Ego keeps you so distracted that
you never thought to ask the "what happens if?"
Was the call to your pops the last you'll speak?
How long can mom defy gravity?
You promised the fam you'd get 'em a win
So tell me you’re still working on your masterpiece.

Had my head up in the clouds, but I’m not afraid to look down
Had my head up in the clouds, but it’s not too late to look down
Had my head up in the clouds, but I'm riding rain drops down
Had my head up in the clouds, but now I'm on my way down

Had my head up in the clouds
But I'm looking for the ground
Had my head up in the clouds
But I'm returning to the ground

I hope when I get there, you'll still be around.
