By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense
Words all lose their meaning by the time they leave the tongue
Some songs ain't about making this whole world understand you
Words just speak for moments like the light speaks for the sun

The sky opened up, the sun came in
The light made rainbows of our skin
Our tongues got it on so beautiful
With kisses like it was dutiful
A love embrace that wouldn't last - some words just come too fast

By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense
I ain't gonna sit here tryin' to make up some excuse
Spend a hundred bucks on what you used to get for 10 cents
Find yourself a tongue and put your head to better use
I don't know what you said
Hey tongue find a head

Caught you askin' the grass, why it grows
Heard you askin' the rose, why it rose
What's to reason in all of our desires?
We make only ashes with these fires
But beautiful to watch them burn
When will we all learn?

By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense
Words all lose their meaning by the time they leave the tongue
Some songs ain't about making this whole world understand you
Words just speak for moments like the light speaks for the sun
If light could find my tongue
I'd fill you up with words
Sweetest lines you ever heard
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today

So much is thieved and so much broken
Where are the words that take two tongues to be spoken
Where are the words that can't be repeated
Tired of those people all talking night
Trying to give up on yesterday's light
World will do better when they all learn
It's beautiful to watch it turn

By the time this gets to you the language will be nonsense
Words all lose their meaning by the time they leave the tongue
Some songs ain't about making this whole world understand you
Words just speak for moments like the light speaks for the sun
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
Sunshine today
