Evening Sun

From First Impressions of Earth2005

Written by Fabrizio Moretti, Julian Casablancas

Produced by David Kahne

Lyrics

Evening Sun

They love you or they hate you But they will never let you be They'll thrill you or sedate you But they will never let you see In the evening sun Amber evening sun Encourage and derange you Watch you walking scared alone Despite intimidation Pleased to watch you dance alone In the evening sun Amber evening sun Go your separate way now Someday you'll come back And I'll be dreaming I was sunburned I don't wanna break your heart in Break your heart in two halves Keep one half and give one half to me I like the summer, miss the summer Tell me, what'd you do? Nothing? Me, too All actors, they're pretendin' And singers, they will sometimes lie Kids are always honest 'Cause they don't think they're ever gonna die You're the prettiest, smartest captain of the team I love you more than being seventeen In the evening sun Amber evening sun In the evening sun
