Staring at the Sun

I went driving south
 4 am
 to see an old friend
 in the pouring rain
 with every mile i slipped back through time
 No one stares at the sun
 for too long
 itll burn your eyes
 what if you knew it'd be gone at the dawn of the day
 His hair was combed
 pulled back tight
 at least they played
 songs he liked
 there he was but he wasnt there
 and i wasnt prepared
 No one stares at the sun
 for too long
 for fear of blinding
 what if you knew it'd be gone at the dawn of the day
 No one stares at the sun
 for too long
 for fear of blinding
 what if you knew it would never rise again
 would you stare (*on the corner of the day*)
 at the sun (*choking on the waves*)
 i would stare (*on the corner of the day*)
 (*choking on the waves*)
 it'd be gone at the dawn of day.
