As the long shadows cast behind fade away
It's a little bit lighter, better and brighter, every day
Here in the city, the sun still shines now and then
We'll still make the same mistakes again

You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
It's taken me this long to figure out
I've just begun

Babe, I'm on my way
So soon the day will break away

As the afternoon is burning away the morning rain
It'll begin with a laugh, letting them know I can love again
But it's still too close, give me the time I can mend
And I still make the same mistake now and then

You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
It's taken me this long to figure out
I've just begun

Babe, I'm on my way
So soon the day will break away

Baby, see me when I can sleep again
Oh, come see me when I can sleep again

You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
It's taken me so long to figure out
I've just begun

You're the only thing I've ever really known
I'm on the run
It's taken me this long to figure out
I've just begun
Oh, towards the sun

"Babe, I'm on my way," you'll hear me say
So soon the day will break away

Baby, see me when I can sleep again
Baby, see me when I can sleep again
