Sunshine fires its first shot
And I like that feeling a lot
Tends to make me smile
And I pull myself out of bed
Put some clothes up over my head
Then I pull the door

This is how it begins
So simple but it ends so wrong
Cuz when you're gone, it's like God put out the sun
My mind wanders
I get nervous about the one I love
Cuz when you're gone, it's like God put out the sun

Do you feel the same way too
I've been thinking a lot about you
And I'd love to know
Slowly morning feels like midnight I'm paralyzed
And it's dark in my head
Could you send some light my way

Chorus

This is how it begins
So simple, you're where I belong
Cuz when you're gone, it's like God put out the sun
My mind wanders
I get nervous about the one I love
And when you're gone, it's like God put out the sun
