The Sun

After school Walking home Fresh dirt under my fingernails And I can smell hot asphalt Cars screech to a halt to let me pass And I cannot remember What life was like through photographs And trying to recreate images life gives us from our past And sometimes it's a sad song But I cannot forget Refuse to regret So glad I met you and Take my breath away Make every day Worth all of the pain that I have gone through And Mama I've been cryin' 'Cause things ain't how they used to be She said, "The battle's almost won And we're only several miles from the sun" Oh whoa, yeah Now, moving on down my street I see people I won't ever meet I think of her and take a breath Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps And sometimes it's a sad song But I cannot forget Refuse to regret So glad I met you and Take my breath away Make every day Worth all of the pain that I have gone through And Mama I've been cryin' 'Cause things ain't how they used to be She said, "The battle's almost won And we're only several miles from the sun" The rhythm of her conversation The perfection of her creation The s*x she slipped into my coffee The way she felt when she first saw me Hate to love and love to hate her Like a broken record player Back and forth and here and gone And on and on and on and on I cannot forget Refuse to regret So glad I met you and Take my breath away Make every day Worth all of the pain that I have gone through And Mama I've been cryin' 'Cause things ain't how they used to be She said, "The battle's almost won And we're only several miles Said, the battle's almost won And we're only several miles from the sun" Yeah, oh, several miles from the sun, oh Yeah, yeah, whoo whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah
