Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway Dodging bullets while you′re trying to find your way Everyone′s around, but no one does a damn thing It brings me down, but I won′t let them
If I seem bleak, well, you′d be correct And if I don′t speak, it′s ′cause I can′t disconnect But I won′t be burned by the reflection Of the fire in your eyes
As you′re staring at the sun, whoa As you′re staring at the sun, whoa As you′re staring at the sun, whoa As you′re staring at the sun As you′re staring at the sun
Hey, when I ran I didn′t feel like a runaway Hey, when I escaped I didn′t feel like I got away Hey, there′s more to living than only surviving Maybe I′m not there, but I′m still trying
Though you hear me, I don′t think that you relate My will is something that you can′t confiscate So forgive me, but I won′t be frustrated By destruction in your eyes
As you′re staring at the sun, whoa As you′re staring at the sun, whoa

Watch the sunset Hold it from afar Close as I get To being where you are While there’s light left I sing this song for you Don′t know if you care but every day, I do
Here I stand, staring at the Sun Distant land, staring at the Sun You′re not there, but we share the same one Miles apart staring at the Sun Distant town, staring at the Sun One thing′s true just like you There′s only one.
And I don′t care if it burns my eyes And I don′t care cause my love is blind
From staring at the Sun, oh oh From staring at the Sun From staring at the Sun, oh oh From staring at the Sun
Send my love down in those rays of light Through your window on your tired eyes Say good morning, Say it to the Sun, Like you′re talking, talking to someone
Here I stand, staring at the Sun Distant land, staring at the Sun You′re not there, but we share the same one Miles apart staring at the Sun Distant town, staring at the Sun One thing′s true just like you There′s only one.
And I don′t care if it burns my eyes And I don′t care cause my love is blind
From staring at the Sun, oh oh From staring at the Sun From staring at the Sun, oh oh From staring at the Sun
Summer stretching on the grass Summer dresses pass In the shade of a willow tree Creeps a crawling over me Over me and over you Stuck together with God′s glue It′s going to get stickier too It′s been a long hot summer Let′s get under cover Don′t try too hard to think Don′t think at all I′m not the only one Staring at the sun Afraid of what you′d find If you took a look inside I′m not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun Not the only one Who′s happy to go blind There′s an insect in your ear If you scratch it won′t disappear It′s going to itch and burn and sting You want to see what the scratching brings Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace ′Cause those that can′t do Often have to And those that can′t do Often have to preach To the ones Staring at the sun Afraid of what you′ll find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun I′m not the only one Who′d rather go blind Intransigence is all around Military still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won′t say goodbye Referee won′t blow the whistle God is good but willHe listenI′m nearly great But there′s something missing I left it in the duty free But you never really belonged to me You′re not the only one Staring at the sun Afraid of what you′d find If you stepped back inside I′m not sucking on my thumb I′m staring at the sun Not the only one Who′s happy to go blind
