Barenaked Ladies - Sunshine lyrics

Most of us have learned to trust
What we see with our own eyes
But with blinders on you hardly realize
That out of view, it's still true
Even when no one's around
We can stumble and fall down

Sunshine burns your skin
Sometimes the things we love so much
Just eat us up from the outside in
Oceans blue will drown
I could find a way to live with your ghost
But I won't be happy till I leave this town

It's just as well, it's hard to tell
Cause my hindsight's crystal clear
But the view from then's not
Like the view from here
If you are passed through a looking glass
The important parts appear
But the details start to smear

Sunshine burns your skin
Sometimes the things we love so much
Just eat us up from the outside in
Oceans blue will drown
I could find a way to live with your ghost
But I won't be happy till I leave this town

When I leave this town
I move the point of view I found
The sun seems to go down
But it just burns while we all spin around

I ran fast, but I came last
'Cause although I set the pace
It was rigged from the start
That I'd lose this race gone and done
Before it had begun
Seems the cup's half full
Till it's overflowed
Then you run and run till your heart explodes

Sunshine burns your skin
Sometimes the things we love so much
Just eat us up from the outside in
Oceans blue will drown
I could find a way to live with your ghost
But I won't be happy till I leave this town

Won't be happy till I leave this town
