[Verse 1]
You said
“It’s fine” with your jaw still shaking
Plastic cup trembling in your hand
Ash on your sleeve
Every word you’re faking
Laughing way louder than you planned
We drove past the house that you never mention
You changed the song before it could start
You talk like a bomb with a faulty tension
Ticking in the back of your heart
[Chorus]
We’re out here with the sun in our eyes
Can’t see a thing but we swear we’re alright
Staring straight into the burn
Into the bright
Trying to feel something
Anything tonight
We’re out here with the sun in our eyes
Too proud to turn
Too stubborn to hide
If this is how it ends
Let it ignite
Out here with the sun in our eyes
[Verse 2]
You trace old scars like a map you’re reading
Say
“It’s just stories
It’s not that deep”
But I see the years that you keep repeating
Looping like a nightmare in your sleep
You pull your hood up when the sky gets tender
Hate every mirror that meets your face
You’d rather choke than admit surrender
So you call that damage “grace”
[Chorus]
We’re out here with the sun in our eyes
Can’t see a thing but we swear we’re alright
Staring straight into the burn
Into the bright
Trying to feel something
Anything tonight
We’re out here with the sun in our eyes
Too proud to turn
Too stubborn to hide
If this is how it ends
Let it ignite
Out here with the sun in our eyes
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to half-time
Guitars clean and distant]
You said
“One more step and I’ll just let go”
I said
“I’m right here
” you said
“You don’t know”
We stood on the edge of a parking lot roof
You kicked at the gravel
Asked
“What is the truth?”
Is it growing past the pain you protect?
Is it breaking every pact you regret?
If healing means killing who you’ve been
Would you rather stay broken than let them win? (let them win)
[Chorus]
We’re out here with the sun in our eyes
Can’t see a thing but we swear we’re alright
Staring straight into the burn
Into the bright
Trying to feel something
Anything tonight
We’re out here with the sun in our eyes
Too proud to turn
Too stubborn to hide
If this is how it ends
Let it ignite
Out here with the sun in our eyes
[Outro]
[Gang vocals
Guitars open up]
Out here
With the sun in our eyes
If this is all we get
Let it set
Let it rise
