Sunshine Lyrics – OneRepublic
Sunshine Lyrics
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
Running through this strange life
Chasing all them green lights
Throwing out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
[Verse 1: Ryan Tedder]
Crazy lately I'm confirming
Tryna write myself a sermon
You just tryna get a word in, life is not fair
I been working on my tunnel vision
Tryna get a new prescription
Taking swings and even missing but I don't care
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
I'm dancing more just a little bit
Breathing more just a little bit
Care a little less just a little bit
Like life is woo-hoo!
I'm making more just a littlе bit
Spend a little more to gеt rid of it
Smile a little more and I'm into it
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
I, I, I, I-I've been running through this strange life
Chasing all them green lights
Throwing out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine
[Verse 2: Ryan Tedder]
Another day, another selfish moment
I've been feeling helpless
Sick of seeing all the selfies, now I don't care
Found myself a new vocation
Calibrated motivation
No more static, change the station
Head to somewhere
[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
I'm dancing more just a little bit
Breathing more just a little bit
Care a little less just a little bit
Like life is woo-hoo!
I'm making more just a little bit
Spend a little more to get rid of it
Smile a little more and I'm into it
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
But honestly man
Lately I-I've been running through this strange life
Chasing all them green lights
Throwing out the shade for a little bit of sunshine
Hit me with them good vibes
Pictures on my phone like
Everything is so fine
A little bit of sunshine
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
A little bit of sunshine
A little bit of sunshine
[Bridge: Ryan Tedder]
I don't really know any other way to say this
Can't slow down tryna keep up with the changes
Punch that number in the name when I clock in
And now I feel like Michael with a cane when I walk in
Basically life is the same thing
Unless you don't want the same thing
Probably shoulda went and got a feature, but I didn't
I've been saving up the money
'cause it's better for the business
[Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
I-I've been running through this strange life
Chasing all them green lights
Throwing off the shade for a little bit of sunshine (Yeah)
[Post-Chorus: Ryan Tedder]
A little bit of sunshine (Ohh yeah)
A little bit of sunshine
