Sunny Came Home (Live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sunny came home to her favorite room
Sunny sat down in the kitchen
And she opens a book and a box of tools
Sunny came home with a mission

[Chorus]
She says, "Days go by, I'm hypnotized
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire"

[Verse 2]
Sunny came home with a list of names
Didn't believe in transcendence
"And it's time for a few small repairs," she said
Sunny came home with a vengeance

[Chorus]
She says, "Days go by and I don't know why
I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire"

[Bridge]
So get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it
[Chorus]
And days go by, I'm hypnotized
And I'm walking on a wire
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind
Into the fire
So light the sky and hold on tight
The world is burning down
She's out there on her own and she's alright
Sunny came home

[Outro]
Sunny came home
She came home
She came home

Thank you. Yep, good old Sunny. 

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
