Eleanor Friedberger - Stare at the Sun lyrics

rate me

In the back of the taxi you turned off the TV

And read me a book on your phone

Here’s the return of your skeleton key

Oh baby, the places we’ve gone

If that was goodbye then I must be high

You know I’ll be seeing you soon

If that was goodbye then the snow in July

Is handed in the middle of June

Give me your toothpaste, give me your ointment

Give me your body and then

Keep this in amber, keep our appointment

Remember the things that we said

If that was goodbye then I must be high

You must be the sugar I need

If that was goodbye then I am a fly

And the future’s guaranteed

‘Cause when I’m with you, everything’s treasure

I forget what it’s like to be gone

I’m far from the town, in the suburbs of your pleasure

I’ve been in exile so long

I’ll try not to stare at the sun, oh,

I’ll try not to stare at the sun

I’ll try not to stare at the sun

Go out and get coffee and synchronize showers

I try not to look at the clock

Goodbye to your castle, wave from the tower

And drop me a light from the dark

If that was goodbye then you must be high

And maybe I’m loosing a thread

If that was goodbye then the sea has run dry

So I’ll fill it with tears instead

‘Cause when I’m with you, everything’s treasure

I forget what it’s like to be gone

I’m far from the town, in the suburbs of your pleasure

I’ve been in exile so long

I’ll try not to stare at the sun

I’ll try not to stare at the sun

I’ll try not to stare at the sun

‘Cause when I’m with you, everything’s treasure

I forget what it’s like to be gone

I’m far from the town, in the suburbs of your pleasure

I’ve been in exile so long

I’ll try not to stare at the sun

I’ll try not to stare at the sun

I’ll try not to stare at the sun
