It's ripe for the picking, give it time
We'll soon have a world full of lemon-limes
But we only have enough room in the garden
To water those that are closer to the sun
And there's too much desert sprawling all around us
To ensure that we can get close to the sun
It's like touching a jagged edge
Feels like hanging on a concrete ledge
From the moment the spotlight's on it's there
Every moment the spotlight's on it's there
Close to the sun
Close to the sun
So don't let go
Isn't it amazing, the skyline
Way too many clouds to make it shine
But it's always possible to see the movement of the twilight
When you're closer to the sun
You can never be too early or too late it's all the same
Cause now we're closer to the sun
It's like touching a jagged edge
Feels like hanging on a concrete ledge
From the moment the spotlight's on it's there
Every moment the spotlight's on it's there
Close to the sun
Close to the sun
So don't let go
Now we're deep in water but it's alright
Sink or swim means nothing just give it time
It's like touching a jagged edge
Feels like hanging on a concrete ledge
