When the Sun Sets

How did I get here
I don't understand
How my heart stayed still on top of this sand

Escaped out of past tides
No need to run and hide
Cause you and the sunset are all of my view

I'll just stay near the pier here
The day slowly disappears
My feet in the ocean
My tears, they turn golden
This room full of gold is flooded

Where is sympathy instead of this humidity
Hitting me so suddenly
I can hear this melody
Are these my perfect summer days
When I'm still stuck in your lavender daze

Can we just stay still together
We're under the color
Of your sunset
You're my mindset
You pull me in my headspace
When I am under your gaze, baby

Can we keep things quiet
Kept in private
Wanna be your co-pilot
In our time zone
Cause with you I know I'm always home
There's nothing to lose when the sun sets

I tell you how lost I am
I don't understand
My life with you has been so perfectly planned

Fall asleep against the same wall
Thinking how in this world I'm so small
You've been the piece I was tryna save
And a peace of mind I crave

You show and love me my space
Pull me back into my place
Stars grow bigger and I still chase
And inside when the sun sets
Inside all our love will set

I just want some things to make sense again
Be there for me when I can't (Be there for me when I can't)
Tell me, please, what's even real
I can't control what I feel
I'm holding back from the inside
I trust you but not what I decide

Always analyzing and denied it
Throwing myself down in my mind
Scared of falling in the new
For the fear of falling through
Cause you're the one I want, I choose you

Can we just stay still together (We're together)
We're under the color
Of your sunset
You're my mindset (My mindset)
You pull me in my headspace
When I am under your gaze, baby (Your gaze)

Can we keep things quiet
Kept in private
Wanna be your co-pilot
Escape from anywhere (Escape from anywhere)
Japan, New York, and Canada, baby
There's nothing to lose when the sun sets (There's nothing to lose)

Pink and purple
Sun's getting too close
Looking into a mirage
Can't get out of a collage
Don't want this to fade
Cause I see you and I wanna stay
And make you my everyday

Can we only dream this vision
Don't leave please just listen
Don't have to think when the sun sets
You help me wake up and realize
My colors in a sunrise

Desperate for an escape
You only knew to see their shapes
Were you accused
Got you confused, it was me but still you
Back to you (I always go back to you)

Was I a distraction or did you still imagine
I guess I can't blame you if you didn't
Blame myself for being distant (But nah)
But love's just your fantasy
Reminisce and want your dream
Forget the girl in the scene

Forget the girl in the scene (I needa forget her)
What you say is not what you mean (Stop overthinking)
I stay hidden in the green (Forget her)
Cause with you I'm dishonest
No, baby, no I want this

How do you know what it is (How, how do you know what it is)
When no one knows the truth of it
We're meant to fall in love (Love, I love you, you)
Not meant to be together (I love you)
Wait 'til six, the sun sets makes me feel bit better (I love you, I love you)

Telling myself to sleep on it
Sleep on it will start healing it (Right?)
I don't wanna be just a dream
Giving you my all now (All for you)
Let go and my heart will allow
Let go, let go (Let go, let go, let go, let go)
Go (I needa let go, let go, let go)
