Sun & Shadow

Not everything’s gonna go your way Some days were only made For falling down We all dance around the ache But the strongest hearts will sometimes break into the ground It’s easy to Forget what’s true Love will come around again Don’t give up Don’t give in Love will come around again It always comes around again When the second guessing starts People show you who they are And it hurts like hell ‘Cause you knew them once so well And now it’s sticks and stones that break your skin And start a lonely war within But honestly, that’s sometimes how it’s supposed to be It’s easy to Forget what’s true Love will come around again Don’t give up Don’t give in Love will come around again It always comes around again Everybody knows the pain Of something good fading away Letting go We all, we all, we all know It’s easy to Forget what’s true Love will come around again Don’t give up Don’t give in Love will come around again It always comes around again Araound again There’s been a lot of miscommunication lately A lot of wait and see and too many maybes And I wanna believe that your faith in me is as strong as it was when we thought we’d be unbreakable All the words we say end up distorted From skin break to heartache without warning And you don’t mean it and I don’t either, we get so close to being defeated by circumstance Do we stand a chance To rise above it all But I feel so small Lay your weapons down And I’ll take my armor off Say what we need to say And love before it’s lost ‘Cause what we have is real And real can hurt sometimes But just because it hurts doesn’t mean that we say goodbye So lay your weapons down Feel so uncomfortable in this silence Behind these invisible walls we build inside us So what’s gonna give and what will it take for us to admit that we’re both gonna break if we stay right here Don’t wanna stay right here Lay your weapons down And I’ll take my armor off Say what we need to say And love before it’s lost ‘Cause what we have is real And real can hurt sometimes But just because it hurts doesn’t mean that we say goodbye So lay your weapons down I wanna rise above it all Will you hold me, just hold me And lay your weapons down And I’ll take my armor off Say what we need to say And love before it’s lost ‘Cause what we have is real And real can hurt sometimes But just because it hurts doesn’t mean that we say goodbye So lay your weapons down Lay Your Weapons Down Underneath the surface, rising tide Caught up in the current, too hard to fight Everything’s blurry, colorblind Everything you’re seeing, so black, so white I know it’s ups and downs Your life hasn’t been easy I know those darker days, believe me I could be your heartbeat Running through your veins When all the world goes silent, I will say your name And when the light is hiding And you’re running out of remedies When your fire’s dying, I’ll be what you need I could be your heartbeat I could be your heartbeat Head up in the skyline, heavy clouds Gravity’s pulling you to the ground I wanna be your parachute I wanna be your peace I wanna be your rescue Someway, somehow Right now I could be your heartbeat Running through your veins When all the world goes silent, I will say your name And when the light is hiding And you’re running out of remedies When your fire’s dying, I’ll be what you need I could be your heartbeat I could be your heartbeat I know it’s ups and downs Your life hasn’t been easy I know those darker days I’ve seen ‘em all believe me And when your heart’s about to break, I’ll bring you back to life I could be your heartbeat Running through your veins When all the world goes silent, I will say your name And when the light is hiding And you’re running out of remedies When your fire’s dying, I’ll be what you need I could be your heartbeat I could be your heartbeat I could be your heartbeat I could be your heartbeat Heartbeat You seemed so different from everyone How you fooled me Your heart was as here and gone as a loaded gun Quickly fired The pain so deep, no sign of healing But I took our love so damn seriously, seriously You’re just a runaway I thought you’d always stay But in the moment it got harder Your heart was not as honest As I thought it’d be, yeah you swore to me It’d take an army to destroy us But now all that I know is I’ll never change You’re just a runaway I was as ready as I’d ever been Open and hopeful, but i I was torn and tossed to the deepest end Of endless wishing That I was wrong, and that you where better Than what you showed me, It keeps messing with me, It’s still messing with me You’re just a runaway I thought you’d always stay But in the moment it got harder Your heart was not as honest As I thought it’d be, yeah you swore to me It’d take an army to destroy us But now all that I know is I’ll never change You’re just a runaway From the highest high, to the lowest low If it’s a runaway, you just gotta let him go You’re just a runaway I thought you’d always stay But in the moment it got harder Your heart was not as honest As I thought it’d be, yeah you swore to me It’d take an army to destroy us But now all that I know is I’ll never change And you’ll stay the same And it hurts to say You’re just a runaway Runaway We spend so much time deciding If the heart that's on the line's worth fighting for All that hurried hesitations All that worried waiting out for something more When you kiss my skin Darling, I'll forget all of the days When nothing was sure If we got all of our lives to just make it right I hope that I'm right with you So come on and give me your time And I'll give you mine And I'll make it right with you It's so perfectly imperfect But the back and forth is worth it When you fall When you fall It's also simple and complex I love the way it wrecks me I love it all I love it all When you pull me in I'll forget all of the days When nothing was sure If we got all of our lives to just make it right I hope that I'm right with you So come on and give me your time And I'll give you mine And I'll make it right with you When I'm with you What a beautiful, beautiful view When I'm with you What a beautiful, beautiful view All of the days when nothing was sure But you came my way And you're something more If we got all of our lives to just make it right I hope that I'm right with you If we got all of our lives to just make it right I hope that I'm right with you So come on and give me your time And I'll give you mine And I'll make it right with you When I'm with you What a beautiful, beautiful view When I'm with you What a

play your part in every story You’re always in between the lines You never wanna take the glory When I fall, you fall too But when I break, you break through When my world’s wrecking me, you bring me back patiently I don’t ever have to ask you, you don’t have to ask me too If I’m afraid of anything it’s me without you My sun and my shadow My sun and my shadow My heart, a time-bomb ticking My mind, a mind of its own As far as it drifts, I won’t get tricked Into thinking I could ever do this alone When I fall, you fall too But when I break, you break through When my world’s wrecking me, you bring me back patiently I don’t ever have to ask you, you don’t have to ask me too If I’m afraid of anything it’s me without you My sun and my shadow My sun and my shadow You’re everywhere I go My sun and my shadow You play your part in every story You’re always in between the lines You never wanna take the glory When I fall, you fall too But when I break, you break through When my world’s wrecking me, you bring me back, patiently I don’t ever have to ask you, you don’t have to ask me too If I’m afraid of anything it’s me without you My sun and my shadow My sun and my shadow You’re everywhere I go My sun and my shadow
