Sun In My Eyes
Jane. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Usually I would let it OUT
It’s hard for me to let my guard down
But there’s somethings that are tough to say
suddenly everything changed

Curtains closed at the end of the scene
Wishing I could say It was all a dream but
Now I’m thinking I won’t ever be the same

and When I woke I was all grown up
Hoping I could write it off as bad LUCK but
Now I’m thinking I was meant to hold this PAIN

With the SUN in my EYES
with the sun in my eyes

there’s blood on your hands
You can’t wash it OFF
I tried to understand how I got involved
Maybe I was called to hold this burden
If I talked God would I BE certain

curtains closed at the end of the scene
wishing I could say it was all a dream but
Now I’m thinking I won’t ever be the same

with the sun in my eyes
With the sun in my eyes

I don’t wanna let my guard down
The voices in head scream so loud
Telling me to RUN away
But I just keep on chasing yesterday

Well I don’t wanna let my guard down
It’s funny cause I let most things out
But this ones really hard for me I can’t seem how to make this go away

with the sun in my eyes
HOO
with the sun in my eyes

With the sun in my eyes
With the sun in my eyes
