  • I don't even have my own attention
    You say "please don't ever change"
    But you don't like me the way I am
    The sign says don't tap the glass
    But I read it in reverse, ssalg eht pat t'nod syas ngis ehT

    The world tried to burn all the mercy out of me
    But you know I wouldn't let it
    It tried to teach me the hard way
    I can't forget it
    Driving down the coast again
    The pills are kicking in
    The pills are kicking in
    She said I love you till I don't

    I am just playing house
    No idea what I'm doing now
    There are no atheists in foxholes
    The pressure's getting to me
    It's time to throw in the towel

    'Cause I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide
    Dancing all alone in the morning light
    The sunshine riptide
    You came in like a wave when I was feeling alright
    The sunshine

    They call me OluwaBurna
    I fell in love, but I didn't further
    Them say me nuh normal
    Drinkin' messy, me nah drink water
    Make me stumble upon me (Air Jordan)
    Ain't no slowin' down
    Know I keep it rollin' now
    Smokin' in my fuckin' brain
    Passin' through my fuckin' town
    Feel like I'm bulletproof, bulletproof, baby ooh
    The sun's shining through
    Got the blunt and the juice ooze
    Riding through

    The sunshine riptide
    Dancing all alone in the morning light
    The sunshine riptide
    You came back like a wave when I was feeling alright

    Sun, sun, sun
    Sun, sun, sun (I'm stuck in the sun)
    Sun, sun, sun
    Sun, sun

    You are my truest feeling yet
    I love you so much
    It's just like oxygen
    And it's going to my head
    A public meltdown
    Petulant but irreverent

    Take all your possibilities and take away the limits
    Take your ideas and throw away all the gimmicks
    I do the best with what I have
    The pills are kicking in
    The pills are kicking in

    'Cause I'm stuck in the sunshine riptide
    Dancing all alone in the morning light
    The sunshine riptide
    You came back like a wave when I was feeling al-
    I was stuck in the sunshine riptide
    Dancing all alone in the morning light
    The sunshine riptide
    You came back like a wave when I was feeling alright

    Sun, sun, sun
    Sun, sun, sun (I'm stuck in the sun)
    Sun, sun, sun
    Sun, sun (I'm stuck in) Writer/s: Andrew Hurley, Damini Ogulu, Joseph Trohman, Patrick Stump, Peter Wentz
