Sight of the Sun lyrics

For once there is nothing up my sleeve

Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me

I used to run at first sight of the sun

Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

The city outside still sounds like it’s on fire

You put on new sheets

The white flag of a Saturday night

I know we stayed up talking in circles

But I like to think the symmetry

Will keep me close to you

For everyone, I’m out to pull wrong, you keep the light on

The only one, you now me better than the truth

So despite what I’ve done I pray to God that we can move on

Cause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose

And, for once there is nothing up my sleeve

Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me

I used to run at first sight of the sun

Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

I lay here waiting for you to wake up

So if you gonna leave, if you gonna go

I can’t bare to sleep without you in my arms

I know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of pebbles and …

But you must not let them take you

They don’t know you like I do

For once there is nothing up my sleeve

Just some scars from a life that used to trouble me

I used to run at first sight of the sun

Now I lay here waiting for you to wake up

I lay here waiting for you to wake up

Do you remember when we stand up till the sun strikes through the room

I used to blame it on the Queen’s Walk down 7th avenue

It’s been years now since we moved

I’ve gotten through with an excuse

You know I try not to speak superlatives

But it’s imṗossible to you

The city outside is nothing but a flicker now

You see our friends to bed, you turn out the lights

I start to think you’ll make a beautiful mother I,

I like to think I have everything I want from this life.
