Sunrise, Sunset. Songtext
von Bright Eyes

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Swiftly go the days
Sunrise, sunset, you wake up then you undress
It always is the same

The Sun rise and the Sun sets
You′re lying while you confess
Keep trying to explain
The Sun rise and the Sun sets
You realize, then you forget
What you've been trying to retain

But everybody knows it′s all about the things
That get stuck inside of your head
Like the songs your roommate sings
Or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed

You raise her hands in the air
Ask her "When was the last time you looked in the mirror?
'Cause you've changed
Yeah, you′ve changed"


Sun rise, the Sun sets
You′re hopefu, then you regret
The circle never breaks
With a sunrise and sunset
There's a change of heart or address
Is there nothing that remains?

For a sunrise or a sunset
You′re manic or you're depressed
Will you ever feel ok?
For a sunrise or a sunset
Your lover is an actress
Did you really think she′d stay?

For a sunrise or a sunset
You're either coming or you just left
But you′re always on the way
Towards a sunrise or a sunset
A scribble or a sonnet
They are really just the same


To the sunrise or the sunset
The master and his servant
Have exactly the same fate
It's a sunrise and a sunset
From a cradle to a casket
There is no way to escape
The sunrise or the sunset
Hold your sadness like a puppet
Keep putting on the play

But everything you do is leading to the point
Where you just won't know what to do
And the moment that you′re laughing
There is someone there who will be laughing louder than you

So it′s true, the trick is complete
You've become everything you said you never would be
You′re a fool, you're a fool

Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
Sunrise and the Sun sets
Sunrise, sunset, the sunrise, the sun sets
Sun rise, the Sun sets

Sunrise, sunset, go home to your apartment
Put the cassette in the tape deck
And let that fever play

Sunrise, sunset, where are you, Arienette?

Where are you, Arienette?
