Next Sunrise

Running in circles 
Around our own fences 
That we created 
In shades of purple 

Starts again, what a surprise 
When has the light ever lied 
Anger that’s not entirely mine 

Is this the last time I look into your eyes?
See you next sunrise 
I’d rather stay here than refuse to try 
See you next sunrise 
Farewells are boring 
So I implore thee 
Save it for tomorrow, and save us all the sorrow, don’t go to bed if you’re still mad

I lost (I lost) 
My sun (my sun)
Before (before)
It begun (begun) 

Reset the clock, oh right it’s a time loop
Hit the buzzer, again and again until noon

What id really like to understand 
Is how we can never just be friends 
Staring at the lines of in between 
Wondering what it could mean 

I see it so clearly now that it’s brighter 
Was never a fighter 

Is this the last time I look into your eyes?
See you next sunrise 
I’d rather stay here than refuse to try 
See you next sunrise 
Farewells are boring 
So I implore thee 
Save it for tomorrow, and save us all the sorrow, don’t go to bed if you’re still mad

I lost (I lost) 
My sun (my sun)
Before (before)
It begun (begun) 

Can’t shine all alone 
Can’t sit on a broken throne 
I suppose it’s better this way 
Better or worse, come what may 

It’s hopeless a dance that has no rhythm 
Something’s amiss
Two parts of a whole 
The sides are jagged though 

Is this the last time I look into your eyes?
See you next sunrise 
I’d rather stay here than refuse to try 
See you next sunrise 
Farewells are boring 
So I implore thee 
Save it for tomorrow, and save us all the sorrow, don’t go to bed if you’re still mad

I lost (I lost) 
My sun (my sun)
Before (before)
It begun (begun)
