Telescope Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ryan Key]
I've been here a while
Staring at this screen wondering what I'll write
Things I can't explain
But should've tried to say when I had the time
You were inspiration
When no one else believed
You showed me strength in my skin
That no one else could see

[Chorus: Ryan Key]
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown

[Verse 2: Ryan Key]
I remember how
Like a telescope you could always find
(You could always find)
Something worth a wish
You said every day's a gift and we'll be alright
(We'll be alright)
And something took you from me
I can't understand why
But wherever you're resting
(I'm carrying)
I'm carrying your light
[Chorus: Ryan Key]
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown

[Bridge: Ryan Key]
You can't stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile

[Refrain: Ryan Key, Ryan Key, Alex Gaskarth, Taylor Jardine, Cassadee Pope]
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Key]
(Let's just keep driving on)
(Let's go where we belong)
[Chorus: Ryan Key]
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown

[Bridge: Ryan Key]
You can't stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile

[Hook: Alex Gaskarth, Ryan Key, Alex Gaskarth, Taylor Jardine, Cassadee Pope]
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope)
(You're my telescope)
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope)

[Hook: Ryan Key]
My only hope
You're my telescope
