I know I can't come near you 
Every time I do 
I get shaken inside and the sun in my eyes 
I'll stay away 

I'd rather be here 
than anywhere with you 
Whoo 

I'd be dancing with your ghost 
Toasting note to note 
So here's to the passing 
of all that could be 
between you and me 

I'd rather be here 
than anywhere with you 
Whoo 

I know I can not see you 
even if I wanted to 
'cause your light is the light of ten sunsets 
Circled by eyes burned blue and opened wide

I'd rather be here 
than anywhere with you 
Whoo 

I'd rather be here 
than anywhere with you 
Whoo
