The sky was dark this morning
Not a bird in the trees
And silence hung suspicious and anxious
Like a blanket covered scream
And you were gone
You were not there for me
And i cursed the sky and begged the sun to
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If i can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down
All my friends are searching
Quiet, desperatley
Look into their eyes and you'll see the faithless crying
Save me, save me, save me
And what are they to feel
And who are they to be
And what am i to do with, do with me, but let the sun
Fall all over me
That's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If i can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down
Until my eyes cry out
'Til my head is free from doubt
'Til my lungs sigh right out
'Til I'm wiser
Let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If i can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down
Not a bird in the trees
And silence hung suspicious and anxious
Like a blanket covered scream
And you were gone
You were not there for me
And i cursed the sky and begged the sun to
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If i can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down
All my friends are searching
Quiet, desperatley
Look into their eyes and you'll see the faithless crying
Save me, save me, save me
And what are they to feel
And who are they to be
And what am i to do with, do with me, but let the sun
Fall all over me
That's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If i can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down
Until my eyes cry out
'Til my head is free from doubt
'Til my lungs sigh right out
'Til I'm wiser
Let the sun
Fall all over me
This life's not living, baby
Living ain't free
If i can't find my way back to me
Let the sun fall down over me
Let the sun fall down

I think this is a great song about a man just out of a relationship trying to recenter himself after losing someone he loved very much.. A LOT of Fuel songs seem to be about break ups.. Like the male band version of Alanis Morissette.
This song means the world to me. I'm getting these lyrics tattooed on my arm soon as a constant motivation to myself.
I think he's singing about the weakness he feels because of something and he feels betrayed and alone, like a weak shell of what he used to be. But in the chorus he makes a promise to himself that things WILL get better and if he can't find his way back to himself and the person he once was, the sun can strike him down and burn him where he stands. He's going to recover or die trying.
I love it, I love fuel because they have alot of passion in what they sing.
I agree with everyones opinion on the song. I think this is their best song to date. It is terrific lyrically and the way Brett sings it is as good as most.
Personally i dont see how this song isnt even more popular. The tune is awesome, especially the beginning guitar and drum intro that gives it a really quiet and eerie feeling. The lyrics are beautifully written as well, i think it really displays a feeling of hopelessness and demotivation in a unique way.
This is an awesome song... i listen to it all the time
To me, this is an extremely meaningful song. On a personal level, I relate it to the death of my friend, which changed my life forever. It left us all a bit lost and robbed us of a piece of our youth. This song, for me, expresses that perfectly.
one of my fav. fuel tunes, expresses a good story of some1 you dearly care about and they have either gone, or you have been seperated from them tight song
i like fuel alot, good song
This is my fav. song by Fuel. I think its about a person who's lost themself and the one person that could make them come back isnt there for them anymore.
