Sight of the Sun - Single Version

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 is yet to lose, and

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'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, slipping through a crowd of fibbers and looters

But you must not let them take you

They don't know you like I do

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

Do you remember when we stayed up

'Til the sun stretched through the room

I used to blame it on the queens

Walking 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 to you

The city outside

Is nothing but a flicker, now

You see our 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
