Fall into the sky

Hi, Would u help me with meaning of the following sentences:- 1- If  I could fall into the sky, do u think time would pass me by. 2- There are clouds in the sky. 3- Next to never. Thanx in advance

The allusion seems to be of possible eternity, or not-eternity.  I have a feeling these are from a poem of one kind or another?

Let me take a shot at these...

1.)  I myself am somewhat lost on this one

2.)  Clouds symbolize dreams, and sky symbolizes life.  There are dreams in my life? Possibly?

3.)  Something that is next to never, will never happen.  Because it is right besides (next) never

1. If  I could fall into the sky, do u think time would pass me by.

Consider the possibility that the writer of the lyric was simply stringing images together, without strict regard for meaning.

2. There are clouds in the sky.

Think of this non-metaphorically. If someone said to you, "there are clouds in the sky", what would you think?

3- Next to never.

Think of this metaphorically. Imagine a series, which includes these words:

Always.................Sometimes.............Regularly.................Seldom...............Never

What word or phrase might occur before "Never"?
