Towards the Sun

One two three four

Getting lost amongst the thought battles of every day
Once we went the same way
Had no cares
You'd laugh along with all the guys and joke around
But no smiles could be found
When he was there
He used to be the baddest boy in town he'd put you down
Even smack you round
And treat you mean
And now your father is his new best friend and confidante
Which just ain't what you want
When you're sixteen

But you know that I'll be watching above the dark clouds
And through the breaks in the blizzard snow
I hope you know that I'll be waiting
After the vultures
Have picked the pretty flesh from your bones
I hope you know that they'll be chasing
As we run further towards the sun

The lazy days of Summer seemed to never end
They would always tend
To forever bloom
We weren't too fragile in the dark times cause we had our friends
Yet it did transcend
Far too soon
When I took you to the hospital that Christmas eve
It was far too late
C'est la vie
So I told another lie to let you know
That you didn't have to worry about me

It's not my heart I'm concerned about
It's already turned inside out
So there's nothing left at all to fear
It's never easy when you're coming down
Global warming and killer clowns
Yes the world seems a little messed up from here

But you know that I'll be watching above the dark clouds
And through the breaks in the blizzard snow
I hope you know that I'll be waiting
After the vultures
Have picked the pretty flesh from your bones
I hope you know that they'll be chasing
As we run further towards the sun
