Look Into the Sun

about

Our needs are really quite simple

lyrics

When I was young I could look into the sun
My head was sore but I was sure good luck from it would come
I could look into the sun
I could look into the sun

In the store I threw my wallet on the floor
The cards and things that hold my strings, I don't need them anymore
No time for this, I am still waiting on a kiss
From the morning dew that soaks my shoes I would not want to miss

Cuz I cannot close the door
I cannot close the door

I poured my life into the pages of a book
It debuted to bad reviews I was ashamed to look
Withering, somewhat amused and dithering
Time goes by but still I try to make this dead bird sing

Cuz I cannot close the door
And the wind keeps blowing in
I cannot close the door, ooh

I am tired of walking into mirrors and biting my tongue
And my blood is cold
So bring me in and give me a drink, I swear that I won't talk to much and I won't touch your stuff
Hang me on your fridge to remind you of me day after day after day
Watching the sunbeams drain the years away
Tuck me in your sleep for a rainy day
And I'll tell you that
When I die I want to face the sun
