When the sun above
Is gone from us
We build a fire
Beneath our house

And in the flames
We've built from us
We burn all
That's begun to rust

And then the stars
Not close enough
We'll pale beside
The light that comes from us

Cause tonight we'll swim
In midnight sunshine
Tonight we'll swim
In midnight sunshine

When the sun returns
To the sky
It will reveal
What we've tried to hide

Then the day
Will last as long to see
That we were all
At the air the need

And then the sun
Not close enough
We'll pale beside
The light that comes from us

Tonight we'll swim
In midnight sunshine
Tonight we'll swim
In midnight sunshine
