sun (song)

by india southgate.

 
out
out by the doorframe
past the walls
holding us in
stands the start of the dawn
wanting and waiting
watching us burn up
burn out
i place my face
where my hands should be
cheek to cheek
we could be
one
i
ive always wondered
how it feels 
to see the sun from here
but now from over your shoulder
it's too far to touch
and there it is
that wonder again
i place my face
where my hands should be
cheek to cheek
we could be
one
