The Sun

After school, walking home
 Fresh dirt under my fingernails
 And I can smell hot asphalt
 Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
 And I cannot remember
 What life was like through photographs
 And trying to recreate images life gives us from our past
 And sometimes it's a sad song
 But I cannot forget, refuse to regret
 So glad I met you and
 Take my breath away, make every day
 Worth all of the pain that I've gone through
 And mama, I've been crying
 'Cause things ain't how they used to be
 She said, "The battle's almost won
 And we're only several miles from the Sun"
 Oh, whoa, oh, yeah
 Now, moving on, down my street
 I see people I won't ever meet
 I think of her, take a breath
 Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
 And sometimes it's a sad song, oh
 But I cannot forget, refuse to regret
 So glad I met you and
 Take my breath away, make every day
 Worth all of the pain that I've gone through
 And mama, I've been crying
 'Cause things ain't how they used to be
 She said, "The battle's almost won
 And we're only several miles from the Sun"
 The rhythm of her conversation
 The perfection of her creation
 The sex she slipped into my coffee
 The way she felt when she first saw me
 Hate to love and love to hate her
 Like a broken record player
 Back and forth and here and gone
 And on and on and on and on
 I cannot forget, refuse to regret
 So glad I met you and
 Take my breath away, make every day
 Worth all of the pain that I've gone through
 And mama, I've been crying
 'Cause things ain't how they used to be
 She said, "The battle's almost won
 And we're only several miles"
 She said, "The battle's almost won
 And we're only several miles from the Sun"
 Yeah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Several miles from the Sun, yeah
