[Verse 1]
I've been staring straight into the sun
Trying to figure out where we began to lose our mind
Little loved one, can't we find our way back home?
I thought you and I were wind, dancing in a sandstorm
Never ever ending lovesong
But when we collided
You looked into my eyes and walked away
[Chorus]

(But I'm standing in the sun)
(But I'm standing in the sun)
[Verse 3]

Promised you would turn our love
Standing on this roof
And you couldn't write about those feelings
I couldn't write about the view
But a dove flew down to my window
Whispered the truth
[Bridge]
Oh, you sent me off on the tail of a hurricane
Just to feel free
But look up above, look at the moth and the dove
Tell me what you see
[Outro]
Oh, you sent me off on the tail of a hurricane
Just to feel free
But look up above, look at the moth and the dove
And tell me what you see
