Sight of the Sun
[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

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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

[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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
