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 [Chorus] 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 gonna leave, if you gonna go I can’t bare 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 [Chorus] Do you remember when we stayed up 'til 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 have everything I want from this life
