in the sun

Where are you going, baby

It’s warm in the sunlight mmm hmm

Oh baby, where are you going

It’s warm in the sunlight

Got my back turned to you

But my face in the sun

I was waiting for you here

I didn’t think you’d come

It’s a life so simple

But it ain’t a life for one

I was hoping for better days

They came all at once, all I want

Is a little house on the coast

With a yard for the dogs

Something kinda small

Something we can really grow up in

Make a lot of marks in the walls

All I want

Is a little fire in the back yard

When the sun down

Something kinda small

Something we can stay warm by

When the summer winds fade into fall

All I want

Is the light of your presence

Is my favorite you present

Smiling up when I’m down

Always teaching me lessons

Picture perfect no makeup

Kinda rude when you wake up

Always down to just stay up

Ain’t no plan, we just hanging out

Got my back turned to you

But my face in the sun

I was waiting for you here

I didn’t think you’d come

It’s a life so simple

But it ain’t a life for one

I was hoping for better days

They came all at once, all I want

Back porch sometimes

The wind in my hair

The sun on your face

I try not to stare

This ain’t everyday

But I’ll take it all

This life made of clay

I’ll shape it to you

I’ll break all the rules

I can live forever

I’ll shake the blues

Life can’t get better

Too much to lose

White tees and sweaters

Sunlight diffused

Through the clouds on a hard day

I take the 361 to the wrong place

I know that I get turned around

But I hope that you know this songs about you

And I’ll try to change

Money just an object

I can’t give you much

But I hope that it’s enough

I know I ain’t the same

I just hope it’s progress

You calling my name

I’ll be running till the sun sets up

Got my back turned to you

But my face in the sun

I was waiting for you here

I didn’t think you’d come

It’s a life so simple

But it ain’t a life for one

I was hoping for better days

They came all at once, all I want

This time I decided I won't be alone

For the first time, for the first, in a long time
