Sunrise, sunset lyrics Bright Eyes

Sunrise, sunset

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly go the days
Sunrise, sunset, you wake up then you undress
It always is the same
A sunrise and a sunset
You are lying while you confess
Keep trying to explain
The sunrise and the sun sets
You realize and then you forget
What you have been trying to retain

But everybody knows it's all about the things that get stuck inside of your head. Like the songs your roommate sings or a vision of her body, as she stretches out on your bed. She raised her hands in the air, and asked you when was the last time you looked in the mirror, because you've changed, yeah you've changed.

Sunrise, sunset
You're hopeful then you regret
The circle never breaks
With each sunrise and sunset
There is a change of heart or address
Is there nothing that remains?

For a sunrise or a sunset
You are manic or you're depressed
Will you ever feel ok?
For a sunrise and sunset
Your lover is an actress
Did you really think she'd stay?
For a sunrise and sunset
You're either coming or you just left
But you're always on the way
Towards a sunrise or a sunset
A scribble or a sonnet
They are really just the same
To the sunrise and the sunset
The master and his servant
Have exactly the same fate
It's a sunrise and a sunset
From a cradle to a casket
There's no way to escape
The sunrise and the sunset
Hold your sadness like a puppet
Keep putting on the play

But everything you do is leading to the point, where you just won't know what to do. And at that moment you may laugh, but there is someone there, who will be laughing louder than you. So it's true, the trick is complete, you've become everything you said you never would be. You're a fool! You're a fool!

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
The sunrise and the sunset
Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
The sunrise and the sunset

Sunrise, sunset
Go home to your apartment
And put the cassette in the tape deck
And let that fever play

Sunrise, sunset
Where are you Arienette?
Where are you Arienette?
