Blues Traveler - Decision Of The Skies lyrics

When you're living in a series of atmospheres You don't stand upon the world, but within it And the faster that you move, the lighter you become The farther out you go, the better the view And you wanna rise So that you can last Take it all in slowly Real fast The capsule goes at 17,000 miles an hour To make the sky act like a pond And if it should slow down Then the mighty ship will sink As if falling through the sea So your destination for the outskirts Thinks the answer lies beyond But the slower that you go The more substantial you become Come to rest against the pure and solid center And you wanna last So that you might rise Take it all in slow That's the decision of the skies The decision of the skies Your best discovery will always be Simply what you see And there's something to look at ...everywhere Devoid of any destination Yes, you're part of a relation From the cold ocean floor And beyond the softest air When you're living, you're just a series of atmospheres Whatever velocity appeals And no matter how you move You're going to become You cannot end and there's no beginning The farthest you can go is right behind you The closest you can get is nowhere near And it could make you wonder where When you're discussing here or there And do you really have to get going And nothing lasts And only time really flies And you're always free From the decision of the skies Decision of the skies
