Gin Blossoms - Jet Black Sunrise lyrics

Time passes like a dream

She suspends the worst of things

Tomorrow let’s see

To hell with her

It's not hers to forestall

I've worked out paralysis

Undermining it all

Collapsing light

The night moves close to me

If you're gonna leave on your own

And take the whole world down alone

Life -- it's always just out of reach

Was it there at my parents' house

Maybe just down that street

But your mind

However lacking it feels

Still I'd trade you away today

For some feeling that's real

Collapsing night

the light breaks close to me

If you're gonna leave on your own

Life is in your hands

Yes, I understand

It’s yours to take on alone

If you're gonna leave on your own

Jet black is the payback

This fine sunrise

When you're bored

So sick of your song

When whole worlds just disappear

Swallowed up and gone

When you're down

Down how far can you go

Raise the future in a wasted past

Everything unknown

Happiness

Means nothing to me

If you're gonna leave on your own

Life is in your hands

Yes, I understand

It's up to you all alone

I wish you wouldn't leave on your own

Jet black is the payback

Jet black is the payback

This fine sunrise
