"Sunshine" lyrics

In the driveway
We were cleaning out my ashtray
Making jokes like "hell at least I'm still alive"
I could always make you smile without trying
When you smile, well, it always makes me cry

I just keep telling myself
Someday the sun will come shining again
If I can loosen my grip
On the wings of the bird that tells me where to begin
I wanna thank you for loving me when I just don't know what to say
Well real love makes you feel at home when you're far away

Rain came down a mile out from Portland
Windshield split we flew off in the rain
I swear some people are alive and spend their whole lives just surviving
So the ones they love can learn from their mistakes

I just keep telling myself
Someday the sun will come shining again
If I can loosen my grip
On the wings of the bird that tells me where to begin
I wanna thank you for loving me when I just don't know what to say
Well real love makes you feel at home when you're far away

Stood out in that Florida heat
Staring at our sandy feet
Oh the color of our blue eyes burned the same
You said 'you can tear down all the walls of all the places you called home'
But you can never walk away from where you came
I just keep telling myself
Oh no
I just keep telling myself
Oh no
