It's too hot to sleep, it's too early to walk the streets
Trying to find, trying to seek out something missing
I'm too rattled to know if I got anything left to show
For that warm humming glow I relied on
Why's it so hard to get it right?
All these shadows that we hold so tight
Gotta let go it's just a trick of the light
It's too early to say I won't get carried away
By the sweet words you say when we're laughing
I thought this bird had flown but she just flew right on home
Gave up being along by intention
Why's it so hard to get it right?
All these shadows that we hold so tight
Gotta let go it's just a trick of the light
Ooh, trick of the light
Ooh, trick of the light
Trick of the light
It's too hot to sleep and these secrets I keep
Are bound to make me meet my maker
If you showed me the door I wouldn't know what to use it for
Got my feet stuck to the floor by your anchor
Why's it so hard to get it right?
All these shadows that we hold so tight
Gotta let go it's just a trick
Gotta let go it's just a trick
Gotta let go it's just a trick of the light
Ooh, trick of the light
Ooh
