Lyrics

I can’t sleep to night,

ev ’ry bo dy’s say ing ev ’ry thing is al right.

Still I can’t close my eyes.

I’m see ing a tun nel at the end of all these lights.

Sun ny days,

where have you gone?

I get the stran gest feel ing you be long.

Why does it al ways rain on me,

is it be cause I lied when I was se (A)ven teen?

Why does it al ways rain on me?

E ven when the sun (A)is shin ing I can’t a void the light ning.

stand my self,

I’m being held up by in vis i ble men.

life on a shelf when

I’ve got my mind on some thing else.

Sun ny days,

I get the stran gest feel ing you be long.

Oh,
