Lyrics for Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven as interpreted by PLANES

Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven Lyrics
There's a beautiful sky tonight
When if you were by my side then we could share it but you're gone
So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars
'Cause nothing matters anymore

If I could only see you now for about an hour
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What he's got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?

I know blue eyes get boring but
I'll wear dark glasses all the time
And hey, if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes

If I could only see you now for about an hour
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What he's got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight you should grant me this one wish

Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
Now you put me through hell
You break me up, yeah
I should hate you, but I can't replace you in my heart
Why am I so pathetic?
I don't get it why you won't return my calls

Can't you look at me once?
And please if you got a minute
Enjoy this lonely sky with me
It'll swallow us whole if we only let it

If I could only see you now for about an hour
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What he's got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight you should grant me this one wish

Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and
Now you put me through hell
You break me up, yeah
If this sky's going to eat us then I'd like to be digested into
A million pieces with you
I'd love to be scattered to hell with you, to hell with you
To hell with you

the title of this song is a mystery to me but I feel like its about rejection and all the insecurities that come with being rejected.

ive never heard this song before... but just by reading the lyrics its bad ass... it seems to me like he likes this girl who likes another guy.. and she wont give him the time of day but he still likes her and would just wanna be with her. kind of an obvious explanation by me.. sorry

The title is kinda strange, but I think it's just saying that he wants to change the way he was or looked and become something better. The song, to me, is about a guy that went out with this girl for a year and then she found someone else. He doesn't know what the other guy has that he doesn't have. He loved her more than anything, there isn't any way he could replace her. So he just doesn't understand why she never loved him like he loved her and how she could so easily replace him. I think towards the end he's saying that he wants her to share his misery that she has put him through.

The first line always hits me hard, "There's a beautiful sky tonight and if you were by my side then we could share it but your gone.", Its such a great opening line to an excellent song.

i don't think i have listened to a song more times than this one. it is my ultimate favorite song because my past relationship with one particular guy relates to the lyrics so well. i am the blue eyes, inoccent and pure. Marajuana is the brown eyes. now he is with the brown eyed-one and i will never get him back, because the brown eyes are more exiting, and i am boring. this happened over a eye ago and i still think about him just about every day. i wish i could get him back and keep him from doing drugs, but all tries have left me hurt and hopeless. i loved you

"Is it his brown eyes?
I know blue eyes get boring but I'll wear dark glasses all the time and
hey if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes."

...seems desperate, but then he's like "To hell with you!"
Have you ever really cared for someone to find out that they used you, but you still want them back so bad you'll do anything, but later you say to hell with them because it just hits you that you'll never get back together, you'll never talk to them again, there's nothing left, etc.., but you know later you're going to feel lost again?
I think that's what this song is like

I love this song! Chris is an amazing person, he writes so well.
"Why am I so pathetic?
I don't get it why you won't return may calls."
is the best part because it reminds me of a certain friend that I have. If you see they play this live it's even better!!!

this is one of the greates STD songs ever written....i believe it is about a guy who has a girlfriend that breaks up with him but he won't accept that she found someone better...he thinks he can change for her but realizes he has to move on.

i love this song. the whole imagery of him cutting out his own eyes because he thinks it will make someone want him more is... i dunno but its really incredible. sometimes he writes lyrics about accepting yourself for what you are and then other times, he writes that he do anything to be accepted. and i think thats whats kinda cool abouts saves the day. all their songs are full of all these crazy contradictions, that in the end, make perfect sense. one of my favorite lines in this song is "So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars". just an amazing song all around.
