The National, Sharon Van Etten - Sunshine on My Back lyrics
[The National, Sharon Van Etten - Sunshine on My Back lyrics]
Tina lies on the ground
She lies there forever she likes the sun
Tina knows the devil
Tina loves the violence
Of living in the country she likes that it's
So far from me
Tina has her story down
I really thought I knew it
And it changed around
When I was almost through it
Sunshine on my back is the only kind I like
Sunshine in my brain is the
Lonely kind of pain
It's the sunshine of a lonely mind
She says "After today then there's
Nothing you owe me"
And I'm so glad that you came
I needed someone who loves me
But just don't try to talk
Yourself into this love
And sleep like a baby while I'm staying up
It's as much what you say
As it is what you don't
You can't try to stay you
Either will or you won't
Sunshine on my back is the only kind I like
Sunshine in my brain is the
Lonely kind of pain
It's the sunshine of a lonely mind
She lies there forever she likes the sun
Tina knows the devil
Tina loves the violence
Of living in the country she likes that it's
So far from me
Tina has her story down
I really thought I knew it
And it changed around
When I was almost through it
Sunshine on my back is the only kind I like
Sunshine in my brain is the
Lonely kind of pain
It's the sunshine of a lonely mind
She says "After today then there's
Nothing you owe me"
And I'm so glad that you came
I needed someone who loves me
But just don't try to talk
Yourself into this love
And sleep like a baby while I'm staying up
It's as much what you say
As it is what you don't
You can't try to stay you
Either will or you won't
Sunshine on my back is the only kind I like
Sunshine in my brain is the
Lonely kind of pain
It's the sunshine of a lonely mind
