Lyrics

Come,
Won't you tell me of all the nice things,
Tell me how easy it is for you.
I want to know that it's all so simple,
That it comes and it goes like it's meant to do.
But it's not easy for me…
When the sun comes up and it's burning bright,
Looks like I won't get any sleep tonight.
Oh…
No…
No, no, no…
It's gonna be so easy for you.
While I'm lying here counting hours,
Watching shadows cross the room,
You're already on your way there—
Like you've got nothing left to lose.
The sun comes up like it's got no doubt,
Like it's never once stayed down.
You move on like it's nothing at all—
I'm still here watching the light come around.
Watching it come around…
All of my dreams,
And all of my plans,
Are scattered across this great land.
I think I'll be here a little while,
I've got some work left to do with my hands.
And you say that you might go away,
You might not go—
But I hope that you stay.
These nights feel longer than they should,
It's gonna be so easy for you.
You move like time is on your side,
Like tomorrow's guaranteed—
I'm still learning how to stand here
With the things I couldn't be.
The sun comes up like it's got no doubt,
Like it's never once stayed down.
You move on like it's nothing at all—
I'm still here watching the light come around.
Maybe I'll learn to let it happen,
Maybe I'll stop asking why.
Maybe there's comfort in the daylight
Even when I haven't closed my eyes.
The sun comes up like it's got no doubt,
Like it's never once stayed down.
You move on like it's nothing at all—
I'm still here watching the light come around.
Still watching it come around…
