Lyrics Alkaline Trio

Alkaline Trio

Sun Burns

Came up to the surface

I cannot remember how long I've been swimming

Drowning

'Cause I've grown accustomed to all of the sharks

And they're not really breathing

Uh huh

Now I won't just mind the gap, I'll fill it

If I'm gonna eat this mosquito of anger

I haven't really made the most of this life

From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right

One time I told my heart to shut up

But I know that I can win back her trust

I owe at least that much to the both of us

Developed a knack for this dull conversation

I'd sharpen my wit, but what's my motivation?

Don't need to be clever to tell you that I'm just

A total mess and that I must throw that old self away

If I don't get right now

I will always

Eat what's decayed

Sleep with the snakes here in this cold grave

I haven't really made the most of this life

From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right

One time I told my heart to shut up

But I know that I can win back her trust

I owe at least that much to the both of us

I was waiting

(Waiting)

For this to happen to happen to me

But nothing's happening

I feel my skin as the sun burns in

And something in me says let it

'Cause one more look might change it all

One more word might change it all

One more try might change it all

One more kiss might change it all

One more look might change it all
