Staring At The Sun (Letra)

Watch the sun set, hold it from afar
Close as I get to being where you are
While there’s light left I sing this song for you
Don’t know if you care, but every day I do

Here I stand, staring at the sun
Distant land, staring at the sun
You’re not there, but we share the same one
Miles apart, staring at the sun
Distant hearts, staring at the sun
One thing’s true, just like you, there’s only one
And I don’t care if it burns my eyes
And I don’t care, cause my love is blind
From staring at the sun
Whoa, from staring at the sun

From staring at the sun
Whoa, from staring at the sun
Send my love down in those rays of light
Through your window on your tired eyes
Say good morning, say it to the sun
Like you’re talking, talking to someone

Here I stand, staring at the sun
Distant land, staring at the sun
You’re not there, but we share the same one
Miles apart, staring at the sun
Distant heart, staring at the sun
One thing’s true, just like you, there’s only one

And I don’t care if it burns my eyes
And I don’t care, cuz my love is blind
From staring at the sun
Whoa, from staring at the sun
From staring at the sun
Whoa, from staring at the sun

Staring At The Sun (Letra)

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me

Over me and over you
Stuck together with God’s glue
It’s going to get stickier too
It’s been a long hot summer
Let’s get under cover
Don’t try too hard to think
Don’t think at all

I’m not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
If you took a look inside

I’m not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind

There’s an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won’t disappear
It’s going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings

Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
‘Cause those that can’t do
Often have to
And those that can’t do
Often have to preach

To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’ll find
If you took a look inside

Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Who’d rather go blind

Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won’t say goodbye

Referee won’t blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I’m nearly great
But there’s something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me

You’re not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
If you stepped back inside

I’m not sucking on my thumb
I’m staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind

Staring At The Sun (Letra)

If I seem bleak
Well you’d be correct
And if I don’t speak
It’s cause I can’t disconnect
But I won’t be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you’re staring at the sun

When I ran I didn’t feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn’t feel like I got away
There’s more to living than only surviving
Maybe I’m not there, but I’m still trying

Though you hear me
I don’t think that you relate
My will is something
That you can’t confiscate
So forgive me, but I won’t be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes
As you’re staring at the sun

Staring At The Sun (Letra)

In your blood
There’s a vein of gold
If i could
Undo heaven’s hold
On your maps
Air on the moon
Your midnight comes at noon

Eyes blind
Staring at the sun
White light
Waiting
For the end to come

I am glass
You see through me
Gliding past
Beauty waves you on
If you choose
All those colours
Kill your lovers now

Eyes blind
Staring at the sun
White light
Waiting
For the end to come

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you’re trying to find your way
Everyone’s around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won’t let them

If I seem bleak, well, you’d be correct
And if I don’t speak, it’s ‘cause I can’t disconnect
But I won’t be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes

As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun
As you’re staring at the sun

Hey, when I ran I didn’t feel like a runaway
Hey, when I escaped I didn’t feel like I got away
Hey, there’s more to living than only surviving
Maybe I’m not there, but I’m still trying

Though you hear me, I don’t think that you relate
My will is something that you can’t confiscate
So forgive me, but I won’t be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes

As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun, whoa

Hey, when I ran I didn’t feel like a runaway
Hey, when I escaped I didn’t feel like I got away
Hey, there’s more to living than only surviving
Maybe I’m not there, but I’m still trying

Though you hear me, I don’t think that you relate
My will is something that you can’t confiscate
So forgive me, but I won’t be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes

As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun, whoa

Hey, maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Hey, dodging bullets while you’re trying to find your way
Hey, everyone’s around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won’t let them

If I seem bleak, well, you’d be correct
And if I don’t speak, it’s ‘cause I can’t disconnect
But I won’t be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes

As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun, whoa
As you’re staring at the sun
As you’re staring at the sun

No one heard you say your prayers … for love
No one ever seemed to care … for you
Blind as you run
Aware
You were staring at the sun

Always someone’s favorite fool … playing
Games that they’d invent for you … losing
Your heart and soul
Aware
There’s no way you can repair yourself

Your fragile face reflects
Years of neglect
Love for so long denied
Dies in your eyes
And so you kiss and give
Your heart away

Far from the start
You knew
There was something out of view

Like a burning spear of stars … falling
You dissolve the night in tears … so tired
Blinded you run
Aware
You were staring at the sun

You’ve given it all away
No more prayers today
You got a homeless heart
That’s tearing you apart
You couldn’t feel more cold
Inside your secret soul
You never found no one
You were staring at the sun
(staring at the sun)
(staring at the sun)
