I wanna go outside and write your name
F
In sunlight on the backs of both my eyes
C
I hope you're not surprised
C
When I use my scarred retinas to
C
stare your scrawled and cursive name
C
onto the dusty surfaces of
F
things I used to love before you
C
It's hard but what can I do
C
And then I count the days before
C
Allowing both my retinas to heal
C
So I can see your face in perfect clarity
F
Oh I will see
C
Your face in front of me
G F C
And then behind my eyelids I'm with you
G F C
Imagining the things we're gonna do
G F C
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue
G F C
In fine and blinding summer light with you
I didn't even want to know your name
Until the sunlight sparkled in your eyes
It took me by surprise
And suddenly the paradigm
Of thinking I was fine
Was shifted into realising that I
needed you all of the time
And when I close my eyelids I'm with you
Imagining the things we're gonna do
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue
In fine and blinding summer light with you
