Staring At the Sun

Only 13 minutes from here
There’s a comet testing the atmosphere
A second sun for everyone
Brave and bright and misunderstood
I want this to happen, i’m scared that it could
Now i can’t walk when i should run
A second sun for everyone
I bought you a telescope, lets take it outside
I’ll show the universe, worlds that are moving and stars that have died
You wanted a limousine, & to be the big star
A face on a magazine, you knew me and you would go only so far
Now you’re handling harsh reality
I’m standing still while you’re flying away from me, Staring at the sun
I wanted a cigarette
You said take it outside
You needed to concentrate
To get dressed for work and to get there on time
I wanted some history and a place i could hide
A scrapbook of you and me, with pictures and postcards and flowers you dried
Yeah, you cried every night we’ve been apart
You’ve broken your promise & broken my heart
Oh yeah, but I still smile
You were my second sun for a while
