Lyrics

Lying In the Sun

(Ahhh ahhh)
(Ahhh ahhhhhhh)
(Ahhh ahhh)
(Ahhh ahhhhhhh)
I swear the stars are getting further and further apart
The horizon gets closer and closer to where we are
And I'm drawing in the deepest breath
The water's way over my head
I'm never coming up for air again
These autumn leaves are elastic
(Ahhh ahhh)
I'm padding home in my bare feet
(Ahhh ahhh)
And there's sand between my bed sheets, so when I sleep
It feels like I'm lying on the beach
Summer is over
(Ahhh ahhh)
And the water's getting colder
(Ahhh ahhh)
When the knots you tied in my shoulders come undone
It feels like I'm lying in the sun
Feels like I'm lying in the sun
All our old friends seem so far away from us now
(So far away, so far away)
You tell me so definite everything's gonna work out
(Gonna work out, gonna work out)
But from inside this hydrosphere
The surface seems so insincere
I'm never coming up for air
I'm never coming up again
Again
Again
Again
These autumn leaves are elastic
(Ahhh ahhh)
I'm padding home in my bare feet
(Ahhh ahhh)
And there's sand between my bed sheets, so when I sleep
It feels like I'm lying on the beach
Summer is over
(Ahhh ahhh)
And the water's getting colder
(Ahhh ahhh)
When the knots you tied in my shoulders come undone
It feels like I'm lying in the sun
Feels like I'm lying in the sun
Feels like I'm lying in the sun
(Ahhh ahhh)
Feels like I'm lying in (ahhh ahhh) the sun
