The Sun (Demo)

After school

Walking home

Fresh dirt under my fingernails

And I can smell hot asphalt

Cars screech to a halt

to let me pass

And I cannot remember

What life was like through photographs

Trying to recreate images life

gives us from our past

And sometimes it's a sad song

But I cannot forget

Refuse to regret

So glad I met you

Take my breath away

Make everyday

Worth all of the pain

that I've gone through

And mama I've been cryin'

'Cause things ain't

how they used to be

She said the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles from the sun

Moving on down my street

I see people I won't ever meet

I think of her take a breath

Feel the beat

in the rhythm of my steps

And sometimes it's a sad song

I cannot forget

Refuse to regret

So glad I met you

Take my breath away

Make everyday

Worth all of the pain

that I've gone through

And mama I've been cryin'

'Cause things ain't

how they used to be

She said the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles

from the sun

The rhythm of the conversation

The perfection of her creation

The *** she slipped into my coffee

The way she felt

when she first saw me

Hate to love and love to hate her

Like a broken record player

Back and forth and here and gone

and on and on and on and on

But I cannot forget

Refuse to regret

So glad I met you

Take my breath away

Make everyday

Worth all of the pain

that I've gone through

And mama I've been cryin'

'Cause things ain't

how they used to be

She said the battle's almost won

And we're only several miles

from my sun

year...

oh...

several miles from the sun
