​fun. - Sight of the Sun lyrics

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 has 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
Sifting through a crowd of pebbles and lures
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 walkin' 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 with you

The city outside is nothin' but a flicker now
You see your 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
