Eleanor Friedberger Stare At The Sun
In the back of the taxi you turned off the TV
And read me a book on your phone
Here's the return of your skeleton key
Oh baby, the places we've gone
If that was goodbye then I must be high
You know I'll be seeing you soon
If that was goodbye then the snow in July
Is handed in the middle of June
Give me your toothpaste, give me your ointment
Give me your body and then
Keep this in amber, keep our appointment
Remember the things that we said
If that was goodbye then I must be high
You must be the sugar I need
If that was goodbye then I am a fly
And the future's guaranteed
‘Cause when I'm with you, everything's treasure
I forget what it's like to be gone
I'm far from the town, in the suburbs of your pleasure
I've been in exile so long
I'll try not to stare at the sun, oh
I'll try not to stare at the sun
I'll try not to stare at the sun
Go out and get coffee and synchronize showers
I try not to look at the clock
Goodbye to your castle, wave from the tower
And drop me a light from the dark
If that was goodbye then you must be high
And maybe I'm loosing a thread
If that was goodbye then the sea has run dry
So I'll fill it with tears instead
‘Cause when I'm with you, everything's treasure
I forget what it's like to be gone
I'm far from the town, in the suburbs of your pleasure
I've been in exile so long
I'll try not to stare at the sun
I'll try not to stare at the sun
I'll try not to stare at the sun
‘Cause when I'm with you, everything's treasure
I forget what it's like to be gone
I'm far from the town, in the suburbs of your pleasure
I've been in exile so long
I'll try not to stare at the sun
I'll try not to stare at the sun
I'll try not to stare at the sun
