Lyrics to Shine
Shine Video:
Finally not waking up dreaming of your ghost
And music is for everyone
Why was I always the last to know?
No idea how hard it was to get this close
With all this extra baggage
And a graft that will not accept the host

These tattered coat-tails, these torn tennis shoes
I am not smarter than many
But I do think that I'm smarter than you
Dappled sunlight that the warm air reciprocates
You look up long enough to notice
But not long enough to appreciate

Down here in the flight path
Down here in the flight path we do our best
Down here in the flight path we do our best
To keep our heads up

I'll sing loud at water falling on stones
I want well-timed time with friends
And well-timed time that I'll spend alone
Throw my body into insignificant positions
I'm gonna make more starts
Complete more chances and more finishes

Fly through the world like a whirling dervish in a hurricane
Take off my clothes and run screaming in the pouring rain
Kiss people even when I'm pretty sure its a mistake
And try to find a love that not for a second I'll have to fake

Down here in the flight path
Down here in the flight path we do our best
Down here in the flight path we do our best
To keep our heads
Down here in the flight path
Down here in the flight path we do our best
Down here in the flight path we do our best
To keep our heads

And the sun, will rise
In the same place every day
It would be arrogant to think
That we could change anything
Except maybe block it's rays
But who would wanna do that anyway?
And I, will rise
In a different place almost every day
It would be arrogant to think
That we could change anything
But if you're here to block my rays
You're gonna have to get the fuck outta my way
Cause I will shine, on you
Like it was the only thing I ever wanted to do
I will shine on you
Like it was the only thing that ever mattered
And all I was put on this earth to do
I will shine on you

One day its gonna spit me out
But its gonna stick my landing
You okay with being talked about?
Its hard to not feel love right now
Lets wrap our arms around each other
Shake our limber big bodies around

One day its gonna spit me out
But its gonna stick my landing
You okay with being talked about?
Its hard to not feel love right now
Lets wrap our arms around each other
Shake our limber big bodies around

Down here in the flight path
Down here in the flight path we do our best
Down here in the flight path we do our best
To keep our heads
