"Soaked in the Sunshine"

I rang you to say I was leaving
Distracted by oceans and mountains of glass
Clones without cupids are dreaming
Inverted, collapsed but relaxed as they lay
Soaked in the sunshine
An ode to the memories we’ve lived
In my boat i’m reminded of
A betrayal of the demands from our hearts

I rang you to say I was thinking
Of distracting the oceans and mountains i’ve smashed
Clones with our cupids deleting
Depart through the tectonic plates in your face
Unspoken in the sunshine
Falling over the side of my boat
And stumble on the sharp rocks
A trembling thought in the tides

Home and soaked wet through
Our trust has come completely unglued
A voice is happy to play the fool
Fool

The truth in the sunshine
Is it’s never quite as it seems
A justified stumbling block
Designed to crowd around our seas
Cold and soaked wet through
Our trust can’t come completely unglued
A voice is happy to stop being the fool
I can’t help but think of you
You wake up and hold your smile
You wake up and follow mine
Awoken in the sunshine without you
