Everybody hates the morning. You don't seem to mind. [VERSE 1] You walk in wearing yellow on a Monday afternoon, while everybody in the room looks like they've been buried too soon. You say hello to strangers, you remember people's names. I don't know how you do it without going completely insane. You ask me why I'm smiling. I say, "I'm not." You laugh. [PRE-CHORUS] You bring flowers to the office, I bring cigarettes and rain. Somehow when you sit beside me everything feels less mundane. [CHORUS] Little sunshine, walking through my grey sky. Little sunshine, don't ask me why. You make the miserable beautiful, you make the lonely feel alright. Little sunshine, stay with me tonight. [VERSE 2] You dance while making coffee, you sing completely out of tune. The neighbours probably hate you, but I find it rather charming too. You say the world's worth saving. I say, "That's optimistic." You tell me I'm dramatic. I tell you, "That's realistic." You roll your eyes at me, then steal my coat and disappear. Somehow I don't mind when you're around here. [PRE-CHORUS] You leave notes upon my table, little jokes beside my keys. I pretend that I'm annoyed, but I keep every one of these. [CHORUS] Little sunshine, walking through my grey sky. Little sunshine, don't ask me why. You make the miserable beautiful, you make the lonely feel alright. Little sunshine, stay with me tonight. [POST-CHORUS] "You're smiling again." "Don't tell anyone." [VERSE 3] Sometimes you get quiet, when you think nobody sees. You hide behind your laughter like it's easier to breathe. And maybe you're not sunshine. Maybe you're just trying. Maybe that's the secret. Maybe we're both just surviving. So when the evening finds you and the colour leaves the room, I'll leave the hallway light on and I'll wait up there for you. [BRIDGE] They call people like you too positive. I think they're wrong. You don't ignore the darkness. You just refuse to let it have the final word. [BUILD] So keep your stupid yellow jacket. Keep your terrible songs. Keep telling me tomorrow that everything will carry on. I'll complain about the sunlight. You'll tell me I'm a fool. And I'll secretly be grateful that I met someone like you. [FINAL CHORUS] Little sunshine, walking through my grey sky. Little sunshine, don't ask me why. You make the miserable beautiful, you make the lonely feel alright. Little sunshine, stay with me tonight. Little sunshine, when the whole world turns cold, little sunshine, don't let go. You make the miserable beautiful, you make the worst days feel alright. Little sunshine Keep burning through the night. [OUTRO] Everybody hates the morning. You still don't seem to mind.
