I'm a camera and you're the sun
I wake up early
'cause the whole world's come undone around us
Thank god love found just
two people in a big, big room
I've got a quarter
and I'm waiting for the moon to show me
every lie they told you about me
"Happy birthday" in a sad, sad song
I try to tell you but it always takes so long

When you hit your mark the arrow
pierced straight through my heart
where it got stuck in my chest
and now there's blood that's falling
all over your dress

Days go by
and I will follow
I don't mind
The night will fall
the sun will come again

And I can't stand the state I'm in
Got a ticket and I think I'm gonna win tonight
Yeah, I just might
ask you to sing along
You know the meter but you haven't heard the song yet
It's your sure bet
Three words and the gift of time
Four months and we fall into this rhyme without a reason
Maybe it's just the season

When you hit your mark the arrow
pierced straight through my heart
where it got stuck in my chest
and now there's blood that's falling
all over your dress

Days go by
and I will follow
I don't mind
The night will fall
the sun will come again

An awkward gesture or a pantomime
You take direction but refused to heed the signs
If not forever, we've always got September
and that's a start
I put my quarter in your heart
That was the best part
A door opens and I see the sun
I look at her and know that she's the only one
I have no doubt
Baby, take your camera out
