Sunbeam Lyrics

San Francisco felt worn down last night

I could almost hear the painted ladies sigh

I can walk Balboa any night without the street lamps on

City lights shine black now that you are gone

Let the fog blow through my chest for all I care

Used to be magic, now it's just cold air

Even though I knew that we were wrong

City lights shine black now that you are gone

Can you see me

Disappearing

Bursting into light?

I'm turning into a sunbeam

Dissolving just like a daydream

Into the poise of the blue sky

I wish that I could explain why

Do you ever get the feel there's something more?

Like we're standing on eternity's trap door

Been staring at the sun so long I can't see the dawn

And the lights shine black now that you are gone

Strips are peeling

Off the ceiling

I'll slip through just fine

I'm turning into a sunbeam

Dissolving just like a daydream

Into the poise of the blue sky

I wish that I could explain why

When did I start believing

I've only ever been a tide receding from the shore

I once existed past this moment

I won't always be trapped

In a revolving door

I'm running out of place I can hide

Too many half-acquainted ghosts of former lives

If I slip away without a word to anyone I know

Will the lights stay black everywhere I go?

I'm turning into a sunbeam

Done with dark

I'm Mr. Sunshine now

Done with dark

I'm Mr. Sunshine now

Done with dark

I'm Mr. Sunshine now

Watch me dissolve like a daydream
