I tried to work it out
But everything shut down
I tried to kiss the floor
The cracks still in the wall

Hey Mr. Sunshine
Hey Mr. Sunshine

I dream that I could fly
But I dug myself a hole
I tried to piss you off
But my skin is feeling cold

Hey Mr. Sunshine
Hey Mr. Sunshine
Hey Mr. Sunshine
Hey Mr. Sunshine

I tried to mess it up
But couldn't find a cause
I wish that you were me
But then you'd understand

(But then you'd understand)

1, 2

(But then you'd understand)

I tried to work it out
I dream that I could fly
I tried to mess it up
But then you'd understand

I tried to work it out (But everything shut down)
I dream that I could fly (I dug myself a hole)
I tried to mess it up
But then you'd understand
But then you'd understand
But then you'd understand

Hey Mr. Sunshine
Hey Mr. Sunshine
Hey Mr. Sunshine
Hey Mr. Sunshine

(Hey Mr. Sunshine)
