| It’s only when I turn away,
|
| Only when I’m near the edge.
|
| I look around and see where I should be instead.
|
| You can think you’ve got it all wrapped up,
|
| Then you feel the threads unwind.
|
| There’s nothing I can do,
|
| Now it’s too late to realize.
|
| Got you on my mind…
|
| Sunburnt through the glass —
|
| Ooooh, you’ve got me beat,
|
| I saw the light but I missed the heat.
|
| I thought I had all that I wanted…
|
| Sunburnt through the glass —
|
| Ooooh, it’s gone so deep,
|
| Why’d it take me this long to see.
|
| That all that I wanted was to saaaay —
|
| All I wanna do is get back,
|
| Try to find that light that I know went black
|
| The beach has started closing off,
|
| The evening tide is coming in,
|
| Trying to catch that train and call in one last drink.
|
| Enough of trying to shake the dark,
|
| Enough of trying to trick the light.
|
| I could really do with letting someone else decide…
|
| Where to spend the night.
|
| Sunburnt through the glass —
|
| Ooooh you got me deep,
|
| I saw the light but I missed the heat,
|
| I thought I had all that I wanted.
|
| Sunburnt through the glass —
|
| Oooh, it’s gone so deep,
|
| Why’d it take me this long to see,
|
| That all that I wanted was to saaaay —
|
| Don’t tell me it’s too late.
|
| Sunburnt through the glass —
|
| Ooooh, you got me beat,
|
| I saw the light but I missed the heat.
|
| I thought I had all that I wanted.
|
| Sunburnt through the glass —
|
| Ooooh, you got me beat,
|
| Why’d it take me so long to see,
|
| That all that I wanted was to saaaay,
|
| Tell me if you can hold on, hold on,
|
| If you can hold on, hold on.
|
| Driving straight back through the night…
|
| Tell me if you can hold on, hold on,
|
| If you can hold on, hold on.
|
| Flashing headlights in my eyes… |
