Sight of the Sun

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 has 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

Sifting through a crowd of pebbles and lures

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

Till the sun stretched through the room?

I used to blame it on the queens walkin' 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 with you

The city outside is nothin' but a flicker now

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

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

I like to think I've everything I want from this life
