[Intro]
Paths in the sky, paths in the sky
That's you and me, and we'll always be
Half hitting highs, half flying blind
Till death divides, that's you and I
[Verse 1]
In your ragged coat one boring night
You dragged me out to cure the blues
That seemed to be destroying me
Said, "Tell me all your brutal news"
[Verse 2]
At the back of the bar in the basement
By candlelight I couldn't hide
Those battles I could once survive
Now seemed to be destroying me
You shook your head, laughed when I said
"What a waste of an education"
[Chorus]
Time flying on a path
Moving through thе sky
I don't ever want to land
Flying on a path
Moving through the sky
Thеre's no way to stop the time
Flying on a path
Moving through the sky
Play along and make it last
Flying on a path
Moving through the sky
[Verse 3]
So without you now, where would I be?
So many trials and fantasies
When I was broke you covered me
Our actions speak in a heavenly
Substitute for a conversation
[Chorus]
Time flying on a path
Moving through the sky
I don't ever want to land
Flying on a path
Moving through the sky
There's no way to stop the time
Flying on a path
Moving through the sky
But we're doing what we can
Flying on a path
Know we're flying blind
[Bridge]
Paths in the sky, paths in the sky
Till death divides, that's you and I
Till the stars mutate
Till a meteor hits your apartment
Sparks radiate your veins
Wearing sequined gloves
I saw the vase in the space, two faces
Took me a lifetime of contemplation
[Chorus]
Time flying on a path
Moving through the sky
I wish I could stop the time
Flying on a path
Moving through the sky
Tried to sneak out through the back
Flying on a path
Moving through the sky
Play along and make it last
Flying on a path
Know we're flying blind
There's no way to stop the time
Flying on a path
Know we're flying blind

James Shaw:
Because this album starts with so much stress, we felt it was important to end on a really peaceful note—but also have it feel a little bit open-ended. “Paths in the Sky” is really just an ode to true friendship. We all have those people in our lives that you can call and say, ‘Meet me...
