Why is it we compare the truth to staring at the sun?
(Listen to me)
I don't
(Listen to me)
Want to
(??? fever)
Could be
(So much more)
Fun
???, could you remind me kindly what the feeling was like.
(Listen to me)
I will
(Listen to me)
This time
(There’s no)
Place to
(Nowhere to)
Run
Oooh
If I open my eyes,
I fear I’ll fall forever.
Tell us the truth but tell it to us gently,
Lest we all go blind.
Why am I bracing for a fire the way an enemy might.
(Listen to me)
Is it
(Listen to me)
Because
(Maybe you should)
I don’t
(Have a little)
Trust
Ready to know before I fall what’s the crux of it all.
(Listen to me)
Maybe
(Listen to me)
That we
(Can we see)
Only
(See what we)
Want
Ooohh
If I open my eyes,
I fear I’ll fall forever.
Tell us the truth but tell it to us gently
Lest we all go blind.
Let go of all the lies.
We’ll learn to be untethered.
Going where we want to.
(Going where we want to.)
Going where we want to.
(Going where we want to.)
Going where we want to.
(Going where we want to.)
Oooh!
My heart’s open,
I’ve become fond of staring at the sun.
My heart’s open,
I’ve become fond of staring at the sun.
La la la lah la lah, la lah, la lah, lahhh lah.
La la la lah la lah, la lah, la lah, lahhh lah.
If I open my eyes,
I fear I’ll fall forever.
Tell us the truth, but tell it to us gently,
Lest we all go blind.
Let go of all the lies.
We’ll learn to be untethered.
La la la lah la lah, la lah, la lah, lahhh lah.
La la la lah la lah, la lah, la lah, lahhh lah.
La la la lah la lah, la lah, la lah, lahhh lah.
La la la lah la lah, la lah, la lah, lahhh lah.
