MASON JENNINGS LYRICS - Sunlight

"Sunlight"



One, two, three, four



Underneath the lilac tree

I close my eyes and suddenly

I'm ten years old and running through

An open field, chasing after you



Sounds of summer fill my ears

If I live 10,000 years

I'll never feel as good as this

Moments before our first kiss



There is nothing to demand

No algebra to understand

Just sunlight on a freckled face

And everything in its right place



Simple things turn magical

Minutes freeze like Popsicles

And drip their seconds down our shirts

I love you so much it hurts



There's no such thing as real time

I've been yours and you've been mine

And we've lived ever happily

Everywhere I've been you've been with me



There is nothing to control

No question mark left on our souls

Just sunlight on a freckled face



There is nothing to demand

No politics to understand

Just sunlight on a freckled face

Everything in its right place

Everything in its right place



And I want to give you a brand new sky

Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes

So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real

I want to show you how you make me feel



I want to give you a brand new dream

Where two horses drink from a silver stream

As the trees catch fire they lift their heads

And bolt together through the forest across our beds



I want to bring you the fields of flowers

I want to build you Eiffel Towers

Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars

And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars

Set you free, yeah
