Straight Into the Sun

[Verse 1]
They told me not to run 'round the house with scissors
They said I shouldn't swim too far out in the river

[Refrain]
I got a long list of things I should not have done
But now I know I've really only just begun

[Verse 2]
They said I should probably look for some other kind of employment
They said I shouldn't live my life like it was just for my own enjoyment
They said I shouldn't dance so close to the fire
They said I was a fool to walk blindfolded on the wire

[Refrain]
I got a long list of things I should not have done
But now I know I've really only just begun

[Chorus]
I was waiting to see where I was coming from
But now I see that I'm happy staring straight into the sun
Straight into the sun

[Verse 3]
They say you should never tell anybody how you really feel
They'll tell you that the feelings you had back then were not real

[Refrain]
I got a long list of things I wish I'd done
But now I know I've really only just begun

[Chorus]
I was waiting to see where I was coming from
But now I see that I'm happy staring straight into the sun
Straight into the sun
Straight into the sun
Straight into the sun
Straight into the sun
