i want to be in the sun/why am i shivering in this dark little cave
when all i want to be is in the sun/so i step out into the sun
fists uncurl yourselves/legs shake it out
face turn yourself up to the light/you are so pale and wrinkled
from living underground/in the underground haze of your mind
in the underground haze of your mind

and you'll never be as terrified or lonely or distant as you are right now
and you'll never be as faithful or tender or loving as you are right now
and i'll never be as running wild or tender or giving as i am right now
and i'll never be as beautiful or plain or just ugly as i am right now

ooh ooh ooooh x2
aah aah aaaah x2

the past she has a certain habit of getting away from me
oh i've wasted my life and i'm only 23
the future is a clown he always ends up tricking me
i can't tell if i change the future or if he changes me

ooh ooh ooooh x2
aah aah aaaah x2

so throw yourself out the wide blue window of your despair
you are so young your ripeness is hanging in the air
like the spring flowers
oh troubled soul that is so young but old on the inside
throw yourself out the window and swallow your pride
you are like a bird that has forgotten how to fly cos you're
expected to have clipped wings

ooh ooh ooooh x2
aah aah aaaah x2

and you'll never be as innocent or pure or naive as you are right now
and you''ll never be as wild or promiscuous or free as you are right now
and I'll never be as miserable or desperate or distracted as i am right now
and I'll never be so caught between a rock and a hard place as i am right now
and you'll never be so brave or courageous or so strong as you are right now
and you'll never fall into my arms quite so very hard as you do right now

ooh ooh ooooh x2
aah aah aaaah x2

Will you take me as i am
will you take me as i am
right now
