Get back, get back again and again I've been here since I can remember when My life is a boat, being blown by you With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue To me you're like a setting sun You rise then you're gone To me you're like a setting sun You rise then you're gone Come back, come back again and again I've been here since I can remember when Your world just spins whilst mine stands still Nothing's changed in your gravity grave To me you're like a setting sun You rise then you're gone To me you're like a setting sun You shine then you're gone To me you're like a setting sun You shine then you're gone To me you're like a setting sun You shine then you're gone But I want your life So bright it burns my eyes Sounds like the perfect way To end my life To me you're like a setting sun To me you're like a setting sun
