equinox (sunny days)

You make a fool out of me
Falling with all of the leaves
Wise men read books and stuff
But wise men are sad
And you make me wanna be happy

Poets cry themselves to sleep
Scared to hear their own heartbeat
So they build their own prisons
Lock them tight, block out the light
And you make me wanna be free

There used to be anvils
Weighing on my chest
And it got hard to handle
Yes I must confess

But you're bright like a candle
And the prettiest
You are sweet but substantial
You're lovelier than a Van Gogh
Your life's a line out of Thoreau

So i'm not worried about the future
My life and my death
I just know I like you
And I'll deal with the rest down the road
But I guess I just thought you should know

You make my heart beat out my chest
You make me blush and want to stay
I used to sleep until sunset
But you make me love these sunny days

Atlas, he holds up the sky
But knows his load is less than mine
So he cries and he tries
To make it lighter for me
By bringing you into my life

Icarus, he and the sun
Had unreciprocated love
The sky is too high, I've found
I'm happy on earth
And you bring me sunshine enough

I wanna slow dance
With you all night long
With nobody watching
Right there on the quad
And only stars above us
And the lights all shut off
Holding you there in my arms
Home has never been less far

So go back to sleep, Siggy
You got it all wrong
We're smiling like kids
Stargazing on the lawn
It's the end of the summer
The start of the fall
It's a symphony, simple and strong
I swear I hear it sing this song

You make my heart beat out my chest
You make me blush and want to stay
I used to sleep until sunset
But you make me love these sunny days

You make my heart beat out my chest
You make me blush and want to stay
I used to sleep until sunset
But you make me love these sunny days
