(Intro - moody synth pad, a distant, filtered beat) Sunlight... Oh, sunlight... Don't let it find us (Verse 1) First light bleeds across the floor, the color of a bruise Another night is over, and all I have is you In the shadows, we're electric, we're beautiful and strange But the dawn is a reminder that everything will change (Pre-Chorus) And I know your promises were only for the dark You swear you'll never leave, you swear you'll play the part But I can feel the coming day is tearing us apart Here it comes... (Chorus) We gotta run from the sunlight, baby This kind of love is made for the shade We're burning up in the daylight, lately And all our colors start to fade We come alive when the moon is high But die when the day is done So run, baby, run from the sunlight (Verse 2) I walk the city streets alone, a ghost in black and white And see your face in strangers caught under halogen lights My friends all say I'm crazy, that I should let you go But they don't know the world we build when all the lights are low (Pre-Chorus) And I know your promises were only for the dark You swear you'll never leave, you swear you'll play the part But I can feel the coming day is tearing us apart Here it comes... (Chorus) We gotta run from the sunlight, baby This kind of love is made for the shade We're burning up in the daylight, lately And all our colors start to fade We come alive when the moon is high But die when the day is done So run, baby, run from the sunlight (Bridge) Tell me, when you're all alone, do you ever close your eyes And dream about a world where we don't have to hide? Could we ever be enough without the cover of the night? Just for once... could we stand in the light? (Breakdown - Music drops out, leaving only a heartbeat rhythm and whispered vocals) (Run from the sun) (Just run) (Before it sees what we've become) (Chorus - Music crashes back in, bigger and more desperate than before) We gotta run from the sunlight, baby! This kind of love is made for the shade! We're burning up in the daylight, lately And all our colors start to fade! We come alive when the moon is high But die when the day is done! So run, baby, run from the sunlight! (Outro - Music fades, leaving the synth pad and a final, echoing vocal) Run from the sunlight... 'Til the night comes back for us... Sunlight...
