Lyrics
Are you staring at the sun because you're desperate?
I'm staring at the sun because it's there
It was there when I was born, and it'll be there when you die
We’re both staring at the sun along the ride
Are you coming or you going? To where, how long, and why?
I've been coming and I've been going for the past couple years of my life
I'm as happy as I've ever been but I'm not too proud to cry
So I'm coming and I'm going and that's fine
If I were you I wouldn't talk like I had figured out
The secret to the universe and life stored in a noun
The beauty I've begun to see is outside of solidity
As the fortunes and the failures start to blend
I'm a thief and I'm a son
And I'm a liar and a lover
And you can't even taste what's on your tongue
Are you laughing with the obvious for the simple sense of unity? Because I'm laughing at the obvious in simple, static disbelief
So I'm doubled over, stomach sore, tears streaming down my cheek
I laugh because I know and I can see
Are you staying up all night, or are you sleeping till the morning? Because I'm staying up all night like I have a choice
If I lay my head down, I am scared to death I might miss out
So I'm staying up all night just to writhe about
So if I were you I wouldn't raise my voice above the crowd
Unless I was pretty sure that I knew what would come out
The answers I've begun to see are captured in solidity
Inseparable from logic and from reason
I don't always know what I should do
But I always know what not to
And sometimes you can't look me in the eye
