Sat on the floor it was a Thursday
I’m not walking away it’s just the train sway
I still see you stuck at the station in a royal blue
I had my life in a bag you couldn’t come too
This all has been romanticised
A shadow can tell a lie
I need to see the solid side
That we couldn’t have made it last
With my back on the grass at first light
I’m still fighting to shade my closed eyes
I couldn’t escape the Son, rising over me
The view from the floor is a good one
When your ears are alive with the bird’s song
I couldn’t escape the Son rising over me
You were reading your books they came alive to you
Looking over your shoulder I was just confused
Living overseas it wasn’t easy
By the time I find home you won’t even know me
This all has been romanticised
A shadow can tell a lie
I need to see the solid side
That we couldn’t have made it last
With my back on the grass at first light
I’m still fighting to shade my closed eyes
I couldn’t escape the Son, rising over me
The view from the floor is a good one
When your ears are alive with the bird’s song
I couldn’t escape the Son rising over me
…
With my back on the grass at first light
I’m still learning to open my new eyes
I wouldn’t escape the Son rising if I could
‘Cos the view from the floor is a good one
When your ears are alive with the bird’s song
I wouldn’t escape the Son rising if I could
