Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a dang thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well, you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I get disconnected
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun

When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

I know you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun

When I ran, I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped, I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun

Maybe life is like a ride on the freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a dang thing
It brings you down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak
Well, you would be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I get disconnected
And I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
