I wanna go outside and write your name 
In sunlight on the backs of both my eyes 
I hope you're not surprised 

When I use my scarred retinas to 
stare your scrawled and cursive name 
onto the dusty surfaces of 
things I used to love before you 
It's hard but what can I do 

And then I count the days before 
Allowing both my retinas to heal 
So I can see your face in perfect clarity 
Oh I will see 
Your face in front of me 

And then behind my eyelids I'm with you 
Imagining the things we're gonna do 
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue 
In fine and blinding summer light with you 

I didn't even want to know your name 
Until the sunlight sparkled in your eyes 
It took me by surprise 

And suddenly the paradigm 
Of thinking I was fine 
Was shifted into realising that I 
needed you all of the time 

And when I close my eyelids I'm with you 
Imagining the things we're gonna do 
In phosphorescent brown and black and blue 
In fine and blinding summer light with you
