Sunset Clouds Lyrics

You put me in this race

I can't keep up a steady pace

I wanna enjoy what I sing

A sparrow can't fly with a broken wing

I wanna show to the world

I'm worth something a little more

The feeling is what is good

I would if I could

I see sunset clouds

Makes me wanna go away

Take me to the place where I

See sunset clouds

Makes me wanna go away

Take me to the place where I can finally say

That I, I, I belong right here

I've been trying my best for so many years

I, I, I wanna stay right here

Did you put me on mute or is it just your ears

That I, I, I deserve to be here

With my friends, my folks, my people, my peers

That I, I, I wanna be right here

I've been putting in my blood, sweat, and tears

Shaky hands sweaty palms

Thoughts running a million miles a second

Wanna tell you the truth

But when I come close

I always second guess it

Can you tell I'm lying

When I say I'm doing fine

Cause you look at me askew

But you can't read between the lines

Is it something wrong with me?

Should I hide from being seen?

These sunset clouds rush over me

With my eyes a glossy sheen

Is there something wrong with me?

Cause these sunset clouds rush over me

Is there something wrong with me?

Should I run from the spotlight?

Notice me

Is there something wrong with me?

Cause these sunset clouds rush over me

Is there something wrong with me?

Should I run from the spotlight?

Notice me

Lately, things have been really hard

Like a hurricane in my yard

Try to crochet but it winds up in knots

I like making things so I won't be forgot

Sunset clouds I see them rise

I remember I'm here and alive

Take a moment, live behind my eyes

You'll see loves sweet reprise

My poetry is how I'm heard

Hanging on every word

If I write my poetry

Would you read it, read it, read it, read it?

Read between the lines

Look into my eyes

If you read my poetry

Woulda ya get it, get it, comprehend it?

If you lived behind my eyes

Would you understand why I write?

I hear the birds chirp in the distance

And trees blow next to me

I see the kids on their bikes

While they're playing in the street

I've put my earbuds in and now

I can't hear a thing about anything

I can wish and hope and pray for life

But here I am to sing

That I am happy but at the same time

I'm not yet here we are

That I'm still living but I'm dead inside

And I can't wait to get away

I could use some joy in my life

But you drain it out

I could use some happiness

But I can't say it out loud

I could use some serotonin

But we can't seem to keep it around

I could use some sunset clouds

But my head seems to constantly pound

I, I, I belong right here (Is there something wrong with me?)

I've been trying my best for so many years (Cause these sunset clouds rush over me)

I, I, I wanna stay right here (Is there something wrong with me?)

Did you put me on mute or is it just your ears (Should I run from the spotlight? Notice me)

That I, I, I deserve to be here (Is there something wrong with me?)

With my friends, my folks, my people, my peers (Cause these sunset clouds rush over me)

That I, I, I wanna be right here (Is there something wrong with me?)

I've been putting in my blood, sweat, and tears (Should I run from the spotlight? Notice me)

If I write my poetry (I could use some joy in my life)

Would you read it, read it, read it, read it? (But you drain it out)

Read between the lines (I could use some happiness)

Look into my eyes (But I can't say it out loud)

If you read my poetry (I could use some serotonin)

Woulda ya get it, get it, comprehend it? (But we can't seem to keep it around)

If you lived behind my eyes (I could use some sunset clouds)

Would you understand why I write? (But my head seems to constantly pound)
