Give Me the Sun

I'm looking for something

I can't say exactly what

I will know it when I find it

And it may be all I got

Oh, I know that there was peace

I know that there was fun

I take my private dreams

And I lie them in the sun

Oh, the spirit of the staircase

What you wish you'd thought to say

We don't speak like in the movies

But we wish we did all day

When you want me on your mind

This isn't what you meant

We had some perfect days

And I wonder where they went

I know that there were things

That fell apart with age

We reasoned with these feelings

And they turned into a cage

I'm done, give me the sun, no dysfunction

I'm done, give me the sun, no dysfunction

I know that there was peace

I know that there was fun

I take my private dreams

And I lie them in the sun

I know that there were things

That fell apart with age

We reasoned with these feelings

And they turned into a cage
