Rivers Cuomo
Long Time Sunshine
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wanna pack it all up
Get on a bus and move to Vermont
Or Maine, or any of those states back East
That I remember
Sometimes I wanna go back to school
An East Coast college with some history
I'd be satisfied, I know
In the simple things

[Chorus]
Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wanna build a house
With a woodstove or a fireplace
And in the middle of the living room
An old piano
Sometimes it don't seem so bad
To settle down with a good woman
And leave this lonely life behind
Forever and ever

[Chorus]
Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me
Longtime sunshine
Longtime (time) sunshine upon me
[Bridge]
Goodbye, friends, goodbye, my girl
Close my eyes as you fly away
Keep on goin' 'til you get someplace
Where you can truly rest

[Chorus]
Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me
Longtime sunshine
Longtime sunshine upon me

[Outro]
(Why bother?)
(It's gonna hurt me)
(It's gonna kill when you desert me)
(Blast off, up to the stars we go)
(And leave behind everything I used to know)
(Somebody's givin' me a whole lot of money to do what I think I want to)
(So why am I still feelin' blue?)
(Oh, Wuan and Dondo)
Why?
