Just like the sun
You know that I’ve been
Patient, hoping this light I’m holding
Who I’ve become, something that we don’t see
Yeah
I can’t lie yo it's the not knowing that I can’t take
There's this fear in my belly that I can’t shake
Tryna remember what my mum say
But can’t fill this space on these dark days
Strange
Thought they told you I was done with that
Tryna roll me up in bubble wrap
Maybe it’s lost and they ain’t coming back
I saw the lightning but I never saw the thunder clap
But I know it’s coming
I know it isn’t over
Looking under cushions on the sofa
Behind bedroom doors
Lifting up the corner of the poster
Still I can’t figure if I’m closer
Yeah
Yo I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t there
I’d be lying if I said I weren't excited
End of every night
Getting quiet
Wondering who’s really there
Fall asleep beside a chair I used to write in
Now I only spend the night in
Rocking back and forth maybe more exciting
The sky looks bright when
Shit
Yo the sky looks bright when
Just like the sun
You know that I’ve been
Patient, hoping, this light I’m holding
Who I’ve become, something that we don’t see
Shit, yeah
It’s just the sky looks bright in the middle of the night
When it all falls silent
Four walls falling to Poseidon
Bed poles turn into an island
And I’m laying there beside him
I laugh to myself
I can’t believe that I was frightened
I go to leave, feel his hands tighten
The birds fly above us
Angels are living here among us
Look at me doing what a mum does
Same time look at what a father does
More stress, yo we didn’t ask for love
Wasn’t he architect
Archetype that was after lust
And after thought are they harsh on us
Funny how the past can judge … still
But the only thing that’s real
Really is that pressure that you feel
A man trained to
Yeah
I’m just a man trained to kill
To love yo I never had the skill
Just like the sun
You know that I’ve been
Patient, hoping, this light I’m holding
Who I’ve become, something that we don’t see
See
Just like the sun
You know that I’ve been
Patient, hoping, this light I’m holding
Who I’ve become, something that we don’t see
See
Just like the sun
You know that I’ve been
Patient, hoping, this light I’m holding
Who I’ve become, something that we don’t see
