Set loose wide-eyed and innocent
In these streets with no name
Learn to grow up fast
Learn the rules of the game
Learn that everything that's given can be taken away
Don't store up treasure, that's what the wise men say
But when I'm with you this whole world just fades away
The sun shines on, everlasting sun
Why do we all wanna be heroes
And do things so that the whole world knows
Got my girl, a car, and a few guitars
When you turn out the lights baby
Then I see the stars
When I'm with you this whole world fades away
The sun shines on, everlasting sun
The sun shines on, my everlasting sun
If I ever get money, I'll hang diamonds from your ears
Always keep you safe, always dry your tears
I got you, baby, you know that you got me
And that's the only thing we'll ever need
Oh, turn out the lights, let's see those stars shine
Shine on, everlasting sun
Shine on, everlasting sun
I always heard that the Lord moves in strange ways
What He gives with the one hand, He can always take away
When I lie with you at night, babe, and I feel your heartbeat
Never want to leave you babe and be back on the streets
When I'm with you, this whole world fades away
And the sun shines on, my everlasting sun
And the sun shines on, my everlasting sun
Shine on, my everlasting sun
Shine on, my everlasting sun
