I'm getting closer to the fact
I've turned my back on silly dreams
And I'm walking down that lonely road
And my heavy load
I didn't bother to bring it
And the sun shines down on me
I feel like I deserve it
And the sun shines down

I'm hiding out where you can't see
Behind the wall in the back of the room
And I'm crawling slowly through the dark
And feeling for a punchline
And the sun shines down on me
I want to feel like I deserve it
And the sun shines down

I'm walking down that empty road
It ain't empty now because I'm on it
And I'm getting closer to a hope
That I can carry and take home with me
And the sun shines down on me
I feel like I have to earn it
And the sun shines down
