sugar

Sufjan Stevens

If someone could've cut me some slack
Now that it's a quarter to ten
Come on baby, give me some sugar

You tell me that you want to fall back
But I don't want to do this again
Come on baby, give me some sugar

Stand up straight now, stand real tall
And wipe that writing off the wall
This is the right time
Come on baby, give me some sugar

Now put one foot in front of the other
Take a breath now, breathe my lover
Mistake of this lifeline
Come on baby, give me some sugar

Is that the weight of the world on your back?
Surrender with that colorful flag
Come on baby, give me some sugar

Yeah, they've been selling us this fiction as fact
But I don't wanna lose you again
Come on baby, give me some sugar

Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait too long
Don't make me sing this sad song
Come on baby, give me some sugar

All the shit they try to feed us
Don't drink the poison or they'll defeat us
This is the right time
Come on baby, give me some sugar

Don't break my heart, don't break my flow now
And all this rage has got to go now
Mistake of this lifeline
Come on baby, give me some sugar

Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait too long
Don't make me sing this sad song
Come on baby, give me some sugar
