The band captioned the music video for this song by saying: “It’s a song about navigating life while struggling with depression. It’s about trying to find beauty and love in the day to day, week to week, season to season in an otherwise ugly world. Still, it’s meant to be hopeful. Nobody is or shoul...
[Verse 1]
Picking it up isn’t the easy part
You’ve been bummin’ around
Bitter heart of December
Blame it all on the weather
Needless to say, I’m glad it exists
[Verse 2]
Cigarette upon the boulevard
Another cigarette, that’s how I make my decisions
Find out what you’ve been missin’
Ready or not, I like you a lot
[Verse 3]
You and I rode so long through the pouring rain
I really run my mouth, I rarely use my brain
You and I rode so long I know I’m never the same
Leaves will fall, the weight of it all
Ready or not, it’s comin’ in hot
[Chorus]
Unfamiliar sun
Just take it as it comes
I hope it never does
Unfamiliar sun
I wanna thank you for your light
In my unforgiving life
[Verse 4]
I'm picking it up through all the hate and the pain
I've been picking it up since the day I turned 15
Long way down, the streets of old town
And when it’s gone, it’s tough getting sober
I'm picking it up through all the frivolous things
A summer has passed and you’re another year older
Leaves turn over, the bats will get hot
Believe it or not, the Cubs in October
[Chorus]
Unfamiliar sun
Just take it as it comes
I Hope it never does
Unfamiliar sun
I wanna thank you for your light
In my unforgiving life
