[Verse] I saw a shadow steal the day It ran so fast it slipped away Through alleys slick with neon rain A thief of light A sweet disdain [Chorus] You stole my sunshine Yeah you did Tucked it away like a little kid I’m chasing the glow Chasing the shine But it’s yours now Not mine Not mine [Verse 2] I tried to catch it in my hands But it laughed like it had better plans It danced on rooftops Kissed the skies Left me in its wake with borrowed lies [Prechorus] Why does the world spin when I stand still Why does the light bend to your will [Chorus] You stole my sunshine Yeah you did Tucked it away like a little kid I’m chasing the glow Chasing the shine But it’s yours now Not mine Not mine [Bridge] You wear it like a golden crown While I fumble here on shadowed ground But what’s a thief without a thrill Take it all Take your fill
