Sight of the Sun Songtext
von fun.

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 prove wrong
You keep the light on
The only one, you know 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're gonna leave
If you′re gonna go
I can′t bear to sleep
Without you in my arms
I know we got caught up, slipping through a crowd of fibbers and looters
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 stayed up
′Til the sun stretched through the room
I used to blame it on the queens
Walking down 7th Avenue
It's been years now since we moved
I′ve gotten good with an excuse
You know, I try not to speak superlatives
But it's impossible 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
