about

Written at Rockaway Beach NYC, in between the jets flying low out of JFK. Written from the perspective of a bitter young man.

lyrics

I waited at the bus stop for you,
you were right on time.
I said id give my whole life for you
and you politely declined.
Felt like i just swallowed the sunshine,
it burned all the way down.
And i know you’re gonna feel it sometime,
when the world turns it’s back around

all the way down
When sunsets in your mouth
Goodbye’s a mighty pill to swallow
it burns all the way down.

Yeah with every jetplane flyin I wonder
if it’s flyin for you
Cause I’m here not for a lack of tryin’,
I did all one man could do
Yeah with every jet plane flyin I wonder
if it’s flyin home for you
I’m here not for lack of trying love,
I wish I was a passenger too
But that’s what happens when you swallow the sunshine,
it burns all the way down
look west and put your hand to your chest
you’ll feel that universal sound

all the way down
When the sun sets in your mouth
In the morning we’ll be breathing fire
it burns all the way down

I told you i was crazy for you,
and you smiled so wide.
but I guess you were just posing for pictures,
in the darkroom in the back of my mind.
It felt like I just swallowed sunshine,
it burned all the way down.
And i know you're gonna feel it sometime
in whatever home you leapt and found

All the way down
When the sunsets in your town
I’ll be up onstage trying to hide my age
I wont be lookin for you in the crowd
All the way down
Like i'm turning inside out
and I know we'll see it rise tomorrow
but it burns all the way down.
