Sun

Lyrics

He was all alone at the station Not a single man to be seen On the frightful day it all took place The day he's too scared to ever face The sun was shining brightly Not even half an hour ago But that was all before It sure was all hard to ignore And as the day came to a close And the night had dawned the suburbs The sun slowly set and thus He boarded the north-ward bus And as the doors flung shut and the engine coughed He found himself a seat He sat back, unwound, all comfortably relaxed And waited for the bus to crash We wouldn't have been here at all We wouldn't have broken the wall If the sun had already set And put us all to rest (All to rest) As the vehicle moved along He listened so intently To the same ten tracks the whole way Like it was just another day But deep down in his body He knew today was like no other He was feeling strangely incompetent But he couldn't help but feel different The bus had reached the first few stops And by now the sky was black He felt weak and faint-hearted He wanted to run back to where he started And although that wasn't quite possible He wanted to leave this place His mind was slowly spiralling down He wants a new career in a new town We wouldn't have been here at all We wouldn't have broken the wall If the sun had already set And put us all to rest We wouldn't have been here at all It wouldn't have taken its toll If the sun had already set And put us all to rest (All to rest) As he grew older he found a way To keep his nervous mind at play Flicking through dusty letters He didn't feel the slight bit better He thinks he's perfect but at what cost Now he's just alone and lost But he knows he cannot fuss Because he's still just, well, on a bus We wouldn't have been here at all We wouldn't have broken the wall If the sun had already set And put us all to rest We wouldn't have been here at all It wouldn't have taken its toll If the sun had already set And put us all to rest (All to rest) (All to rest) Now he has a choice to make A choice that's rather important Stay exactly the same Or never return again And though the latter seems fun or cliche Something you would hear in a movie It's not something that would fit In the simple life of a kid The bus approaches his destination He gets ready to get off But as he tries to alight He didn't feel alright He pushed himself off the bus And arrived at this wasteland A place that he had once known A place that he had once called home We wouldn't have been here at all (We wouldn't have been here at all) We wouldn't have broken the wall (We wouldn't have broken the wall) If the sun had already set (If the sun had already set) And put us all to rest (And put us all to rest) We wouldn't have been here at all (We wouldn't have been here at all) It wouldn't have taken its toll (It wouldn't have taken its toll) If the sun had already set (If the sun had already set) And put us all to rest (And put us all to rest) (You)
