Why is it we compare the truth to staring at the sun?
(Listen to me) I don't
(Listen to me) want to
(All that fever) could be
(So much more) fun

Lover, could you remind me kindly what the feeling was like?
(Listen to me) I will
(Listen to me) this time
(There is no) place to
(Nowhere to) run

If I open my eyes
I fear I'll fall forever
Tell us the truth but tell it to us gently
Lest we all go blind

Why am I bracing for a fire the way an enemy might?
(Listen to me) Is it
(Listen to me) because
(Maybe you should) I don't
(Have a little) trust?

I'm ready to know before I fall
Oh, what's the crux of it all?
(Listen to me) Maybe
(Listen to me) that we
(Only see) only
(See what we) want

If I open my eyes
I fear I'll fall forever
Tell us the truth but tell it to us gently
Lest we all go blind

Let go of all the lies
We'll learn to be untethered
Go anywhere we want to
Go anywhere we want to
Go anywhere we want to

My heart's open
I've become fond of staring at the sun
My heart's open
I've become fond of staring at the sun

If I open my eyes
I fear I'll fall forever
Tell us the truth but tell it to us gently
Lest we all go blind

Let go of all the lies
We'll learn to be untethered
