lyrics

Won’t you rest on me
As we drift into the night
Won’t you live for me
When I disappear from sight

An open hand, how it reaches
Out to block the light
But the sun always finds
A way to blind the eye
When looking to the sky

And when I feel you take your last breath
I wanna peel the weight from your chest
I’ll wear it with me till my death bed
Cause I never learned to listen

Ooh ooh god damn
That sun is hot as hell
When you’re wearing nothing else
I figured out
The sun was there to help
But I hid behind the clouds

I said
I’ll never let you go
Never let you go again
As I let go of your hand
I’ll never let you go
Never let you go again
I know you don’t understand

Won’t you rest on me
As we move into the day
Don’t you feel the heat
The need to hide in shade

An open mind, how it roams
Sometimes out of spite
But the sun always finds
A way to blind the eye
When looking to the sky

Bound by my ways
Taken by the praise I never saw that you were sinking
Down to the grave
I should have saved the day but I was busy overthinking
