Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shake me down, not a lot of people left around
Who knows now? Softly laying on the ground, ooh
Not a lot of people left around, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
In my life, I've seen people walk into the sea
Just to find memories plagued by constant misery
Their eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground
Their eyes cast down
[Chorus]
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
[Verse 3]
Shake me down, cut my head on a silver cloud
Broken sound, softly laying on the ground, ooh
Not a lot of people left around, ooh, ooh
[Verse 4]
In my past, bittersweet, found no love between the sheets
Tasted the blood, broken dreams, lonely times indeed
With eyes cast down, fixed upon the ground
With eyes cast down
[Chorus]
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
Turn back, said it's time for me to let go
Way down, had to find a place to lay low
Lamp shade, turn a man into light post
[Bridge]
Walk around the corner, never saw it coming
Still I tried to make a move, it almost stopped me from believing
I don't wanna know the future, I'm like rolling thunder
[Bridge]
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
Even on a cloudy day
[Chorus]
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the—
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the—
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
[Outro]
Shake me down, not a lot of people left around, ooh, ooh
