Sunlight Lyrics
Think I push too hard
I think that's what you said
So why would I want to stay
Oh no
See all my mistakes
Watch the whole thing coming down
Now I could never wait
To wake up to alarms
Before it gets that bad
Oh no
I'm already gone
Kicking down the open doors
I wish you would say
When I fuck up that it's ok
That it's just a scrape
All this blood is gonna wash away
Sunlight on your face
On these too cold December days
I'll look past the stains
How they wash, how they wash away
What is left to say
When I can't count on my words
Before the first snow stays
Oh no
I will be so far
To the north of any place
I wish you would say
When I fuck up that it's ok
That it's just a scrape
All this blood is gonna wash away
Sunlight on your face
On these too cold December days
I'll look past the stains
How they wash, how they wash away
Shadows they don't stain
They just wash, they just wash away
I think that's what you said
So why would I want to stay
Oh no
See all my mistakes
Watch the whole thing coming down
To wake up to alarms
Before it gets that bad
Oh no
I'm already gone
Kicking down the open doors
When I fuck up that it's ok
That it's just a scrape
All this blood is gonna wash away
Sunlight on your face
On these too cold December days
I'll look past the stains
How they wash, how they wash away
When I can't count on my words
Before the first snow stays
Oh no
I will be so far
To the north of any place
When I fuck up that it's ok
That it's just a scrape
All this blood is gonna wash away
Sunlight on your face
On these too cold December days
I'll look past the stains
How they wash, how they wash away
They just wash, they just wash away

I like this song!
My interpretation is that the singer wants to leave the relationship because he feels like he's done his lover wrong and can't bear to make things worse, so he tries to get out before they do. But deep inside, he wishes that the lover will stop him and forgive what he's done and that they could start over again.
I wish you would say when I fuck up that it's ok.. oh yesss I do. love this one.
another great song from mppa
definitely about not letting some things get to you or having a lasting affect on those around you
how they wash, how they wash away.
Listen the the beginning of this song, then listen to the beginning of Eddie Vedders new song Hard Sun. Almost exactly the same!
