Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I wanna go outside and write your name
In sunlight on the backs of both my eyes
I hope you're not surprised
When I use my scarred retinas to
stare your scrawled and cursive name
onto the dusty surfaces of
things I used to love before you
It's hard but what can I do
And then I count the days before
Allowing both my retinas to heal
So I can see your face in perfect clarity
Oh I will see
Your face in front of me
And then behind my eyelids I'm with you
Imagining the things we're gonna do
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue
In fine and blinding summer light with you
I didn't even want to know your name
Until the sunlight sparkled in your eyes
It took me by surprise
And suddenly the paradigm
Of thinking I was fine
Was shifted into realising that I
needed you all of the time
And when I close my eyelids I'm with you
Imagining the things we're gonna do
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue
In fine and blinding summer light with you
