On the TV, supporters and opposers of the death penalty are talking
But in bed, we’re laughing; I can hear my loved one’s voice
After about 55 seconds, the newscaster’s level voice rang out
And you said “I just can’t believe it”, like it was someone else’s problem
But I can’t hear you, I just can’t hear you anymore!
The sheets are still warm where you were a second ago…
Hey, sunny day
Before I woke from this dream, here in the very center
Of this world where words won’t reach…. I held you close
An abducted girl, an old man caught up in it and stabbed, children in a warzone
Parents continuing their abuse, a young man who couldn’t be saved and lost his life
With news that takes less than 55 seconds, with a simple label to tie it all up neatly
With that, do you understand good and evil? Or will you pretend to, and talk about justice?
Saying, “Oh, this food’s expiration date is the same as your birthday”
Hey, sunny day
I want to hold my breath and drown, with only you before my eyes
More than the future, more than the next life, I want to wager this moment
Revolving
Revolving: left and right
Revolving: you and me
Revolving: white into black
Black into white, la la lee la
“Lies”, “honesty”, doubt both and scream!
Atop the bed, a dried-out rhythm and melody
Will add love to this unchanging world
Hey, sunny day
Before I woke from this dream, here in the very center
Of this world where words won’t reach…. I held you close
sunny day…
Hey, sunny day
In the very center of the darkness, I caught you
In a sloppy mess, I held you close
