V4.5-ALL

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] a yellow in my bag the smallest piece I ever had I draw a sun so it can chase the dark away Big and round warm the broken ground it shines like it can fix what’s left behind [Pre-Chorus] Momma said the sun stays high even when we close our eyes so I’ll keep it where it belongs even if the sky is gone [Chorus] Crayon sun, don’t ever fall stay right there above it all crayon sun, please don’t fade I need the light that I just made if the real one doesn’t come I’ll keep drawing you… my sun [Verse 2] I draw a house a door that works, a bell that rings I draw a road so maybe we can all go back I draw some friends beside the tree I leave a space in case they see I trace their names I still recall so they don’t disappear at all [Pre-Chorus] was told to draw what makes you safe so I don’t draw the empty place I color over every line where something’s missing from my mind [Chorus] Crayon sun, don’t ever fall stay right there above it all crayon sun, please don’t fade I need the light that I just made if the real one doesn’t come I’ll keep drawing you… my sun [Bridge] If I draw it, does it stay? if I name them, do they hear? I can make the sky behave I can make the ground not break I can keep the light in place in this paper, in this space [Solo] [Final Chorus, fragile vocal] Crayon sun… don’t move away I just got the light to stay everything else had to run so I’m holding on to one crayon sun… shining still like it listens when I will if the sky won’t come back down I’ll keep you above this town [Outro] I ran out of yellow now… [pause] …will you stay if I don’t draw?
