Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There was

Sun

Shone down upon me

Felt so warm on me

Golden leaves hanging on the trees

[Verse 2]

So much

Sun

The summer shimmer

I saw a glimmer

I could be who I wanna be

[Verse 3]

I could dream

[Verse 4]

Oh, I wish I could dream that

I could dream like I used to dream

Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be

Oh, I wish I could dream that

I could dream like I used to dream

Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be

[Verse 5]

There was

Sun

Indica head rush

Bursting upon us

All my flaws lying on the ground

In the

Sun

I'm not a stranger

Black hearted angel

Oh, I hate when you're not around

[Verse 6]

Some days I feel somewhere else or somewhere in between

Some days I don't feel a thing at all

Now I'm pulling back the screen to let the future in

The light comes flooding in

The light comes flooding in

[Verse 7]

Oh, I wish I could dream that

I could dream like I used to dream

Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be

Oh, I wish I could dream that

I could dream like I used to dream

Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be

[Verse 8]

When there was sun

When there was sun

When there was sun

There was sun

[Verse 9]

Some days I feel somewhere else or somewhere in between

Some days I don't feel a thing at all

Now I'm pulling back the screen to let the future in

The light comes flooding in

The light comes flooding in

[Verse 10]

Oh, I wish I could dream that

I could dream like I used to dream

Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be

Oh, I wish I could dream that

I could dream like I used to dream

Oh, I wish I could be all the things that I used to be

[Verse 11]

When there was sun

When there was sun

When there was sun

There was sun
