Lyrics Sunshine - Barenaked Ladies

Sunshine

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
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 its 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.
(Sunshine)
I won’t be happy till I leave this town (Sunshine)
Won’t be happy till I leave this town
