In the Sun

I left the coast in disrepair
With one last breath of ocean air
And I thought, it's been a while since my feet were in the sand

I got behind the wheel again
I didn't even spare a glance behind me
Cause I knew that I wouldn't want to go home

(Go home)

You taught me everything
I didn't want to hear
I know it would get better if it
Took another year
Well everybody says
You need to get back up
Well I'm just fine laying on my back
And taking in the sun for once

I passed the backs of billboard signs
Promises of better times
And they said, you're 20 miles from where you want to be

I drove against the setting sun
I knew in my heart I was done
With nobody to turn to
I wouldn't have it any other way

You taught me everything
I didn't want to hear
I know it would get better if it
Took another year
Well everybody says
You need to get back up
Well I'm just fine laying on my back
And taking in the sun for once

(Taking in the sun)

Well I still write you letters
But I threw them all away
The ocean took them from my hands

If I told you everything
That I never said out loud
Well maybe things would all work out
And you'd still be around
I don't regret a thing
I'm better off this way
Well thanks I guess for times when I felt
I had something to say

You taught me everything
That I didn't want to hear
I know that I'll get better if I
Just keep sitting here
Well everybody says
You need to get back up
Well I'm just fine laying on my back
And taking in the sun for once
