Sight of the Sun (From the “Girls” Soundtrack)
For once there is nothing up my sleeveJust some scars from a life that used to trouble meI used to run at first sight of the sunNow I lay here waiting for you to wake up
The city outside still sounds like it’s on fireYou put on new sheetsThe white flag of a Saturday nightI know we stayed up talking in circlesBut I like to think the symmetryWill keep me close to youFor everyone, I’m out to pull wrong, you keep the light onThe only one, you now me better than the truthSo despite what I’ve done I pray to God that we can move onCause thus far you are the best thing that this life is yet to lose
And, for once there is nothing up my sleeveJust some scars from a life that used to trouble meI used to run at first sight of the sunNow I lay here waiting for you to wake upI lay here waiting for you to wake up
So if you gonna leave, if you gonna goI can’t bare to sleep without you in my armsI know we got caught up slipping through a crowd of pebbles and …But you must not let them take youThey don’t know you like I do
For once there is nothing up my sleeveJust some scars from a life that used to trouble meI used to run at first sight of the sunNow I lay here waiting for you to wake upI lay here waiting for you to wake up
Do you remember when we stand up till the sun strikes through the roomI used to blame it on the Queen’s Walk down 7th avenueIt’s been years now since we movedI’ve gotten through with an excuseYou know I try not to speak superlativesBut it’s imṗossible to you
The city outside is nothing but a flicker nowYou see our friends to bed, you turn out the lightsI start to think you’ll make a beautiful mother I,I like to think I have everything I want from this life.
