Shine

Finally not waking up dreaming of your ghost
 And music is for everyone
 Why was I always the last to know?
 No idea how hard it was to get this close
 With all this extra baggage
 And a graft that will not accept the host
 These tattered coat-tails, these torn tennis shoes
 I am not smarter than many
 But I do think that I'm smarter than you
 Dappled sunlight that the warm air reciprocates
 You look up long enough to notice
 But not long enough to appreciate that
 Down here in the flight path
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 To keep our head
 I'll sing loud at water falling on stones
 I want well-timed time with friends
 And well-timed time that I'll spend alone
 Throw my body into insignificant positions
 I'm gonna make more starts
 Complete more chances and more finishes
 Fly through the world like a whirling dervish in a hurricane
 Take off my clothes and run screaming in the pouring rain
 Kiss people even when I'm pretty sure it's a mistake
 And try to find a love that not for a second I'll have to fake
 Down here in the flight path
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 To keep our heads
 Down here in the flight path
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 To keep our heads
 And the sun, will rise
 In the same place every day
 It would be arrogant to think
 That we could change anything
 Except maybe block its rays
 But who would wanna do that anyway?
 And I, will rise
 In a different place almost every day
 It would be arrogant to think (it would be arrogant to think)
 That we could change anything (that we could change anything)
 But if you're here to block my rays
 You're gonna have to get the fuck outta my way
 'Cause I will shine on you
 Like it was the only thing I ever wanted to do
 I will shine on you
 Like it was the only thing that ever mattered
 And all I was put on this earth to do
 I will shine on you
 One day it's gonna spit me out
 But it's gonna stick my landing
 Be okay with being talked about
 It's hard to not feel love right now
 Let's wrap our arms around each other
 Shake our imperfect bodies around
 One day it's gonna spit me out
 But it's gonna stick my landing
 Be okay with being talked about
 It's hard to not feel love right now
 Let's wrap our arms around each other
 Shake our imperfect bodies around
 Down here in the flight path
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 Down here in the flight path we do our best
 To keep our heads
