The Shade Lyrics by Ruune

fetch quest

2019

[Verse 1]
Here comes the boy with the butterfly wings
Here to investigate the mysterious things happening to each
And every one of us as we bring death closer to our own doors
The boy with butterfly wings grows up to be a man
Who is hung up by his heels because no one understands him
When he says, “You don’t gotta live like this
Please listen, I’ve got a plan.”

[Chorus]
And the plan is:
Stop loving what don’t love you
And don’t squeeze love out where it’s not
Don’t seek winter whеre it’s hot
Don’t seek sunlight when the sun is blottеd out. They fired arrows into clouds
Cause the people who make their bread there need the shade
(Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-ah)
(Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Water is wet: it’s a truth we forget
A fact that is true but not always obvious until the sky cracks open
So does the regret that we didn’t bring jackets this time
I dream it’s raining even when it isn’t
Because sometimes it’s so hard to just be forgiven
When a big old face is staring at me from inside my brain
Saying: “I gotta give up”

[Chorus[
And the plan is:
Stop loving what don’t love you
And don’t squeeze love out where it’s not
Don’t seek winter where it’s hot
Don’t seek sunlight when the sun is blotted out. They fired arrows into clouds
Cause the people who make their bread there need the shade
(Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-ah)
(Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh)
(Oh-oh Oh-oh)
