my sun

everything looks prettier with my sunglasses on
you do too
how can you kiss me from so far away?
id blind myself to get a glimpse of you

you shine on everyone
kissing their skin, i’m nobody’s baby
you’ve burned a great big hole in my heart
a crater like your counterpart you made in me

why do you have to kiss everyone?
your attention is never only mine
come back, shine on me, it’s been too long
i’ll make you want to stay this time

if i could, i’d do it all again
i got what i’d always dreamt of
i felt your light in my chest
i died at your hand, i died in love
