lyrics

lyrics:

pack up all what you'll take
on the trails we're going to make
the moment that the day breaks
gonna put her in the fast lane

i'm so tired of moving so slow
just take me where the wind blows
it could be that i don't know
just where it is we're going
maybe it's best if i keep that to myself

i might not have had one from the get go
so i can't tell you for sure
if i lost my halo
somewhere along this road
maybe it's best if i keep that to myself

we continue to fight
even though nobody's right
as we're waiting on the sunshine to shine on us
we have covered our eyes
but we hope to see the light
as we're waiting on the sunshine to shine
to shine down on us

now i'm rolling up the window
and bringing it back down slow
we have come a distance
just how far we don't know

oh you put it all up at stake
and followed love for it's own sake
so even if your heart breaks
you can't call it a mistake

gonna kick it back in high gear
and leave behind our fears
cuz everything we hold dear
might not be the same as last year
maybe it's best if we just keep that to ourselves

i don't know what lies
upon the other side
i'm just waiting on the sunshine to shine on us
cuz the way we spend our days
is the way we spend our lives
i'm just waiting on the sunshine to shine ... ... ... ...
to shine down on us
