lyrics

I took my love to my favourite spot,
But all she saw was the parking lots,
Swallowing the beauty,
Of the city she refused to see.

Like I’ve seen a new skyline,
That was there the whole time,
I’ve Lost a friend or I was,
Alone all along.

You can hold a lighter up to the sun,
Ask for fire where there was none,
I am not your chosen one,
Save your fuel before it’s gone,
But it was too late, too soon,
Wake up, hey sun.

A part of me couldn’t part with this,
The comfort of a simple plan,
You’re so lovely, you don’t
Know how sorry I am.

I could risk it, above the rain,
But you’re drowning in the pain,
Numbed by the sunburn and our
Days of summer are numbered,

You can hold a lighter up to the sun,
Ask for fire where there was none,
I am not your chosen one,
Save your fuel before it’s gone,
But it was too late, too soon,
Wake up, hey sun.

[Hey sun]
I don’t know what we’re fighting for,
Coz no one here’s gonna win this war,
Wake me up before we fall too far,
Wake me up before we fall too far.
