Soft awakening mirage in the foreground
Life’s ephemeral dance wasted waiting around
I should’ve known as I watched the smile fade
From your face

Countless times that perfect line set in its place
Nothing new under the Sun
I mistook strength for sticking around
A little dread, a little fun

Sat poised waiting for the punchline
I can see you there laying in the tall grass
Orphic mysteries present future past
I should have known once you set your sights on me

I'm a sucker for a song like poor Eurydice
Nothing new under the Sun
I mistook strength for sticking around
A little dread, a little fun

Sat poised waiting for the punchline
Nothing new under the Sun
Nothing new under the Sun

I mistook strength for sticking around
A little dread, a little fun

Sat poised waiting for the punchline
Nothing new under the Sun
Nothing new under the Sun
