lyrics

I will wait
I will sit awhile
And watch as the sun sets on my son

And I admit
It'll take a while
To live in - and out - of this place

And when you all go
When you all go
When you all go
When you all go

Sun-lit glass
And patios
And our feet under the table

And it's simple math
You don't wanna know
But that's fine, we've got long memories

And when you all go
When you all go
When you all go
When you all go

Every day the sun returns
Every day the sun returns
Every day the sun returns
Still, we have to pay for light

Every day the sun returns
Every day the sun returns
Every day the sun returns
Still, we have to pay for light

Yeah, well

And you'll stay
And I'll go
And you'll stay
And I'll go
And you'll stay
And you'll stay
And I'll go
'Cause you asked for this
