Sunday Afternoon by Rachael Yamagata

Lyrics for Sunday Afternoon by Rachael Yamagata

It’s a choice to stay

It’s a dream and I want to wake

You have blood on your hands

And I’m feeling faint

And honey, you can’t decide

I’m a drug you don’t wanna give up

Smoke your cigarette, make your love

You pour blood in my heart, I can’t get enough

I’m drowning and you can’t decide

It’s not about geography or happenstance

Your need to fly and take a chance

Your need to shine to emptiness

And float on high and forever dance alone

Your scared cuz I feel like home

I hear your voice

I knew right away

If you were here

What your eyes would say

I have blood on my feet

As I walk away

The rivers are red

It’s starting to rain

I’m not gonna live for you or die for you or do anything anymore for you

Cuz you leave me here on the other side

You leave me here on the other side

I won’t live for you or die for you or do anything anymore for you

Cuz you leave me here on the other side

You leave me here on the other side

I won’t live for you or die for you, do anything anymore for you

Cuz you leave me here on the other side

You leave me here on the other side

I won’t live for you, or die for you, or do anything anymore for you…

I’m not gonna shed one more tear for you

Shed one more tear for you

I’m not gonna shed one more tear for you

At least not till Sunday afternoon

Sunday afternoon…
