Someday the Sun Will Shine
All the people I use to know they're ghosts to me now
Tripping over their sheets and wandering through the bedroom
Shouting boo at the nearest breathing thing,
But I try and tell myself that you haven't changed,
You're the same blue-eyed love I've always known
But here you stand looking into my eyes,
No longer so innocent, not longer so sweet,
But I love you more than ever,
And consistency and you at sixteen is something I've always wanted
But people change, you can't stop it,
Try holding down the moon for a day you'll burn your hands,
Realizations strike me like the tick of a clock,
Some cars they reach their homes but others end up buried in the snow,
Or sitting on the edge of a cliff wondering if life can really end so quick,
So I'll keep that in mind and I won't spend my life waiting
It's time to leave and though my heart may try and stop me
The silly way you kiss and the way you never look at me anymore
Will encourage me to escape this world I've built around your october eyes
And look for a better life where I can count my days on the wings of butterflies.
