Two Suns

(album: Passenger - 2020)

Don't try to put me on a pedestal before I'm gone
The world keeps spinning no matter which side you're on
I hear a lot of talk
From everybody out to run before they walk

This world is burning up
We sparked a fire
Why do you keep holding this over my head
I'll do it on my own as long as I live
If I get high enough nothing can burn me
Why do you keep holding this over my head
I'll do it on my own as long as I live

My soul's too heavy from all that I've done
And my chest can't carry
The weight of my heart
I feel so temporary please tell me I'm not
'Cause I'm sick of flying too close
Too close to the sun

This world is burning up
We sparked a fire
Why do you keep holding this over my head
I'll do it on my own as long as I live
If I get high enough nothing can burn me
Why do you keep holding this over my head
I'll do it on my own as long as I live

Don't try to eat with me now
If you wouldn't starve with me then
If I'm bailing you out
It's 'cause I'm tying up
Tying up loose ends

This world is burning up
We sparked a fire
Why do you keep holding this over my head
I'll do it on my own as long as I live
If I get high enough nothing can burn me
Why do you keep holding this over my head
I'll do it on my own as long as I live

I do it for the days
That I couldn't afford to eat
Living off food stamps week after week after
Do it for the nights
That I couldn't sleep
