Run To The Sun
N.E.R.D. · In Search Of
I just wanna talk to you
Thinking about the time we shared
And how I wasn't there
It hurt me, these people overworked me
Then I heard maybe soon you'll leave
Excuse me Lord, if you have tricks up your sleeve
I'm not ready to be bereaved
I know I'm always asking for something or another
But this time, it's just time
'Cause I love her
But baby, if he don't change his mind
Or fate or time
Yo, I want to leave you with this line
It goes while you're here
I wanna tell you something
It's that I love you girl, yeah
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
Yesterday I tied two rocks together
That symbolize our lives
And threw them in the ocean
Now they're on the ocean floor coastin'
'Til they stop rollin' so far
That no sonar would list them
To the point that no one would even believe that we existed
I know that may sound twisted
But my neglect is killin' me, I feel so guilty
Please have faith if you feel me
It goes while you're here
I wanna tell you something
It's that I love you girl, yeah
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
It goes while you're here
I wanna tell you something
It's that I love you girl, yeah
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
Though you're probably feelin' blue
And you'll do what you must do
I hope you know, I'd hand the skies to you
I'm so embarrassed for mankind
They have the nerve to let their weapon shine
They're so stupid
Do they not know you're about to fly high away
With the wings that God will give you someday
I'm not jealous, I just can't take it
S.O.S. to your ears
The only thing I ever feared was this day
And having to say
It goes while you're here
I wanna tell you something
It's that I love you girl, yeah
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
It goes while you're here
I wanna tell you something
It's that I love you girl, yeah
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
It goes while you're here
I wanna tell you something
It's that I love you girl, yeah
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
It goes while you're here
I wanna tell you something
It's that I love you girl, yeah
And I wish we could run to the sun
And never come back, yeah
