Stare at the Sun (acoustic)
by Tom Petty
Sit here clutching useless lists
And keys for doors that don't exist
I crack my teeth on pearls
And keys for doors that don't exist
I crack my teeth on pearls
I tear into the history
Show me what it means to me in this world
Yeah, in this world
Show me what it means to me in this world
Yeah, in this world
Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind
I see the parts but not the whole
I study saints and scholars both
No perfect plan unfurls
I study saints and scholars both
No perfect plan unfurls
Do I trust my heart or just my mind?
Why is truth so hard to find in this world?
Yeah, in this world
Why is truth so hard to find in this world?
Yeah, in this world
Cause I am due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
Till I understand or go blind
I know that there's a point I've missed
A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
A scar that never graced my wrist
A mirror that hasn't met my fist
But I can't help feeling like
A shrine or stone I haven't kissed
A scar that never graced my wrist
A mirror that hasn't met my fist
But I can't help feeling like
I'm due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign)
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
I'm waiting for a sign (waiting for a sign)
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
And I'm due for a miracle
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
I'm waiting for a sign
I'll stare straight into the sun
And I won't close my eyes
