Buryin' the bones
You don't have to work
To make it feel like home
Oh, I got a light heart
But you show me the bright side
Always got my eyes closed
Oh, I never chose this
But you came at the right time
Follow you to roses
Show me to the sunshine
Sunseeker
You make me a believer
Sunseeker
Did you know I need you?
Did you, did you, know I

I think you know me better
Better than I do
You know how to settle
Read my every mood
Oh, I got a light heart
But you show me the bright side
Always got my eyes closed
You sit with there with wide eyes
Oh, I never chose this
