Staring Down The Sun

It's hard to help but see

God played a trick on me

Walking up the street to the diner to eat

Expecting nothing but a five dollar feast

She took me by surprise

That pair of bright blue eyes

I caught her glance, I smiled, we said hi

Both headed inside

With shooting stars colliding

With planets all aligning

There's not much that can be done

You wouldn't dare deny it

And if you try to fight it

It's like staring down the sun

It's like staring down the sun

I flexed, I smoothed my hair

I watched her sitting there

Asked her if she'd mind if I sat down beside

She said she didn't, and we talked until nine

And then we said, "good night

Until tomorrow night"

I laid down staring at the ceiling

Life before my eyes

With shooting stars colliding

With planets all aligning

There's not much that can be done

You wouldn't dare deny it

And if you try to fight it

It's like staring down the sun

It's like staring down the sun

In this surreality

(You can taste and touch and breathe)

Now it's my reality

And so one story ends

But another one begins…

I laid down staring at the ceiling

Life before my eyes

With shooting stars colliding

With planets all aligning

There's not much that can be done

You wouldn't dare deny it

And if you try to fight it

It's like staring down the sun

It's like staring down the sun

It's like staring down the sun
