Darker Shade Lyrics

Phantom Planet

Oh that the sun shone down today,
Maybe then you'd see me.
Until then there's one more day,
Patiently I'll wait.
Oh that the sky were blue again,
Maybe then I'd smile.
Until then there's one more day,
Patiently I'll wait.
Spotlight on me; Now can you see
there's something wrong?
Tell me that there's something more
than this darker shade of brown.
Oh that my heart was cold as stone,
Then you couldn't burn me.
Until then I'll wait at home,
Patiently alone.
Spotlight on me
Now can you see
there's something wrong?
Tell me that there's something more
than this darker shade of brown
