| I used to hate the sun | |
| because it shone on everything I'd done. | |
| Made me feel that | |
| all that I had done was overfill the ashtray of my life. | |
| All my achievements in days of yore range from pathetic | |
| to piss-poor, but all that's gonna change. | |
| Because here comes sunrise. | |
| Yeah, here's your sunrise. | |
| I used to hide from the sun, | |
| tried to live my whole life underground. | |
| Why'd you have to rise & ruin all my fun? | |
| Just turned over, closed the curtains on the day. | |
| But here comes sunrise. | |
| Yeah, here's your sunrise when you've been awake | |
| all night long & you feel like crashing out at dawn. | |
| But you've been awake all night, | |
| so why should you crash out at dawn? |
