Sunrise
Arlo Parks
Couldn't ever be my sunrise
(Sunrise, sunrise)
You're just a setting Sun, I'd pray and you would pass me by
You're only looking for a good time, a body you could kiss on
Turn to you and you've moved on
Well there's something about the way you passed me by
I couldn't keep up and now I'm stuck
And I never forget how carefully you counted it
725 licks to the center of a tootsie pop
All the times you laughed it made my heart stop
Get the key, unlocked, no pace, no clock
Who's there?
The Earth still turns and I believe
One day I'll fall into your gravity
I just took too long to see beyond this predetermined read
Empty hallways, calendars months behind
Beds too warm to leave
But I know like the Sun I gotta rise eventually
It's sour this time
Many times I rode
Many times I'd spin and went so far for you
It's familiar and mild
You stretch me out, I'll still can't reach
Don't wanna need your company
You should know that the earth still turns and I believe
