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 damn 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 can't disconnect 
But I won't be burned by the reflection 
Of the fire in your eyes 

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

Hey, when I ran I didn't feel like a runaway 
Hey, when I escaped I didn't feel like I got away 
Hey, 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, whoa 
As you're staring at the sun, whoa 

Hey, when I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
