LYRICS

Sunlight’s Exposure

I wanna be home before the sun comes up

Wouldn’t be too much to ask if it weren’t for what I took

I wanna be in bed before my alarm goes off

I’m sick of starting the day before I’ve even nodded off

 

Why do I wait til the sun don’t shine

Before I dare take my first step outside?

We’re bounded by the night it brings us closer 

I’m not ready for the sunlight’s exposure

 

I stumble through the door and kick off my old blue shoes

I look around and I’m stunned by all the things I got to do

I check my pockets but I think I’ve lost my mind

Truth be told it’s been missing for a while now

 

Tell me why do I wait til the sun don’t shine

Before I dare take my first step outside?

We’re bounded by the night it brings us closer 

I’m not ready for the sunlight’s exposure

 

I turn the TV on but I just can’t stomach the news

It kicks me straight back into my Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday blues

You tell me that I’m being far too serious

What I’d do to be just half as delirious as you

 

Tell me why do I wait til the sun don’t shine

Before I dare take my first step outside?

We’re bounded by the night it brings us closer 

I’m not ready for the sunlight’s exposure

 

No no no no no

The sunlight’s exposure

No no no no no

Sunlight’s Exposure

Solipsism Sunday

Not By You

I Don’t Talk

Hello Summer

Slippers Not Soles

Solipsism Sunday

I’ve had your face etched in my mind for a long long while

So any given time I can see your smile

Yeah you parked it in my brain

Reversed into the membrane

The wrong way down a single lane

Now my wires won’t be parallel again

 

Oh cause I miss the way that you walk into the room

I would get my act together if I thought you’d be here soon

Now I fantasize and the future’s on my mind

But it’s solipsism Sunday and I'm busy watching time go by

 

Well you can either tell me you love me or you can tell me the truth

And if it’s this I wish I missed your lips and the way your body moves

Please don’t tell me you need me cause we both know too well

That needs just greed, a poison seed without a tale to tell

So you say ooh la de da la da tee ta ta

And you wave away those words I'll never say

Before you go ooh ra ta ta ra ta tee ta ta mm-hmm

And we’ll save the heartache for a rainy day

 

Cause you got your money, and you paid the price

It ain't no virtue of yours dear being right, oh no

And you got your picture perfect portrait snaps

But I warn you now dear art attacks

And your instamatic empty words

Can live in someone else’s world

Cause I’ve tried your meditation

I sat silent and patient

And I perceived my own sensations

Right as they smacked me in the face

It’s either sadness or elation

And there ain't no mediation

And I won't let no medication be the one to put me in my place

And I won’t sing another love song about you, but

I miss the way that you walk into the room

I would get my act together if i thought you’d be here soon

Now I fantasize and the future’s on my mind

But it’s solipsism Sunday and I'm busy watching time go by

 

Sweet my oh my oh my oh my

Woah oh oh oh ah oh oh

Rut do do do do do oh my lady

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

Now I miss the way that you walk into the room

I would get my act together if i thought you’d be here soon

I fantasize and the future’s on my mind

But it’s solipsism Sunday and I'm busy watching time go by
