I stared into the sun
I wound up in bed
with an ache in my head
I had to learn to look away
and appreciate
indirect illumination

trying to see the light
trying to see the light
sometimes its so bright
it hurts my eyes

ever met someone
who when they looked at you
you felt you’d always known them?
well maybe you had
or maybe some things
we just don’t understand

trying to see the light
trying to see the light
sometimes its so bright
it hurts my eyes

all those years ago
when I learned
to look the other way
I just could’t know
the time would come
for staring at the sun

trying to see the light
trying to see the light
sometimes its so bright
it hurts my eyes
