[Chorus]

I wonder when's the next time she will shine on me

I curse the clouds blocking me shouting blasphemy

At night is she warming up to another hemisphere

And I'm here mind wandering plenty


[Verse 1]

Now she visiting me in my dreams

Vivid as can be and lucid in my daily routine

Everything I see losing its sheen

A glimmer of hope, nope yet to be seen

Jealousy is a flame that is hard to extinguish

A stagnant pool, cue ball a little English

Baby don't you know that patience is a virtue

Anything to the contrary can hurt you

In the long run, going crazy

No mattеr how many times it got rained on me

I need my sunshinе

When you don't come around, my plants die

Wish I could live like bonsai

Remember sun-kissed skin and I'm feeling oozy

Missing a piece in the puzzle should I lose it

In my pocket and I looked around everywhere

Only to find it later, a round silver-wear


[Chorus]

I wonder when's the next time she will shine on me

I curse the clouds blocking me shouting blasphemy

At night is she warming up to another hemisphere

And I'm here mind wandering plenty


[Verse 2]

I can't look at you more than a second

You’re too bright and my eyes are naked

Wanna stare, would I make it

But when I do you leave an imprint

On my iris the film negative

Man I gotta run to develop it

Few more hours if not days of agony, it’s evident

The wait is killing me softly

I better find another way to be dealing with anomaly

In a situation room staring at the monitor

With members of the cabinet calming the nerves

Overwhelmed with the magical phenomena

Colors fade to ripple of a domino effect of

A butterfly flapping in the wind

Basking in the sun more elusive than a basket and a win

I caught a glimpse but I haven’t heard since

Chances are slim, forecast looking grim


[Chorus]

I wonder when's the next time she will shine on me

I curse the clouds blocking me, shouting blasphemy

At night, is she warming up to another hemisphere

And I'm here mind wandering plenty


[Verse 3]

The globe we be chilling on, glow like a mirror ball

Flow is on minimal, three minute intervals

I understand now, exchange is subliminal

Even if you know the face, you don’t even know the fate

It’s like having four seasons in seven days

Spring, summer, fall, winter on a Saturday

I had to leave behind the joint living in a daze

Heaven gave me lemons, I made lemonade

I had to make and take a stand I can sell

You were hoping you can have her to yourself

She can give enough shine to everybody in vicinity

On top of that, light every home in this city

I’m on the corner of chaos and certainty

The only thing that I’m sure is my urgency

I gotta get my pass stamped at the embassy

Now I’m sitting in the row, exit in emergency
