Gin Blossoms - Jet Black Sunrise Lyrics

Time passes like a dream
She suspends the worst of things
Tomorrow let's see

To hell with her, it's not hers to forestall
I've worked out paralysis
Undermining it all

Collapsing light
The night moves close to me

If you're gonna leave on your own
You take the whole world down alone

Life, it's always just out of reach
Was it there at my parents' house?
Maybe just down that street

But your mind, however lacking it feels
Still I'd trade you away today
For some feeling that's real

Collapsing night
The light breaks close to me

If you're gonna leave on your own
Life is in your hands, yes, I understand
It's up to you all along

If you're gonna leave on your own
Jet black is the payback
This fine sunrise

When you're bored, so sick of your song
When whole worlds just disappear
Swallowed up and gone

When you're down, down how far can I go
Raise the future in a wasted past
Everything ever known

Happiness
Means nothing to me

If you're gonna leave on your own
Life is in your hands, yes, I understand
It's yours to take all alone

I wish you wouldn't leave on your own
Jet black is the payback
Jet black is the payback
This fine sunrise
