Stare At The Sun - Eleanor Friedberger
.
In the back of the of 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 and the snow in July
As it hailed 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 sang
.
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 is 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 try not to stare at the sun,
No, I try not to stare at the sun.
I try not to stare at the sun.
.
Cooperative coffee and synchronized showers,
I try not to look at the clock.
Goodbye to your castle, wave from the tower,
And drop me a line from the dock.
.
If that was good by then you must be high
And maybe I'm releasing the thread
If that was goodbye then the sea has run dry
So I 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 try not to stare at the sun,
I try not to stare at the sun.
I 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 try not to stare at the sun,
I try not to stare at the sun.
I try not to stare at the sun.
