Twilight Sun

Vanessa Carlton - Twilight

I was stained with a role in a day not my own

But as you walked into my life

you showed what needed to be shown

And I always knew what was right

I just didn't know that I might

Peel away and choose to see

with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way

And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

And I will never cease to fly if held down

And I will always reach too high

'Cause I've seen 'cause I've seen

Twilight

Never cared never wanted

never sought to see what flaunted

So on purpose so in my face

couldn't see beyond my own place

And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold

But you taught me I could change

whatever came within these shallow days

And I will never see the sky the same way

And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

And I will never cease to fly if held down

And I will always reach too high

'Cause I've seen 'cause I've seen

As the sun shines through it

pushes away and pushes ahead

It fills the warmth of blue

and leaves a chill instead

And I didn't know that

I could be so blind to all that is so real

But as illusion dies

I see there is so much to be revealed

And I will never see the sky the same way

And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

And I will never cease to fly if held down

And I will always reach too high

'Cause I've seen 'cause I've seen

Twilight

I was stained by a role in a day not my own

But as you walked into my life

you showed what needed to be shown

I always knew what was right

just didn't know that I might

Peel away and choose to see

with such a different sight

And I will never see the sky the same way

And I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday

And I will never cease to fly if held down

And I will always reach too high

'Cause I've seen 'cause I've seen

Twilight
