Shine Away Lyrics by Tesla

Bust a Nut

1994

(Keith, Hannon, Skeoch, Wheat)

All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever be

All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever, it could ask for

Me, I told myself that I'd get better and I knew I would
But I said that a thousand times
Said the same in the letters that I wrote to you
Guess you thought it's that same old line

Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Told myself I'd get over it and over you
Never will till the day I die

This won't take long
Shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural
It's love or animal

There you are
So far away
But instead I got it right here in my face

Shine away, shine away
One look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away
'Cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Don't you shine my way

Now that it's over I ask myself the reason why
That (was in the time with you on my mind)
Told myself I'd forget about, forget you
Now it's changed it don't feel so right

Ooh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Love you so and always will
Love to love you even still

Now there you are
So far away
All the while I got it right here in my face

Shine away, shine away
One look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away
'Cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away
I got somebody sittin' home, waitin' for me, yeah
Shine away, shine away
You make it hard for somebody
Who don't want to play
And I want to play

[Solo]

I told myself that I'd get better and I knew I would
But I said that ten thousand times
Said the same if time don't make that call for you
Guess you thought it's that same old line

This won't take long
Shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural
It's love or animal

Now there you are
So far away
All the while I got it right here in my face

Shine away, shine away
One look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away
'Cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away
I got somebody sittin' home and waitin' for me
Shine away, shine away
Shine away, shine away, shine away

[Solo]

Shine away, shine away
Shine away, shine away, shine away
