Under the eyelids
Under the eyelids
That's where you're hiding
That's where you're hiding

Like I'm a stranger
Signaling danger
But I'm a beggar
But I'm a beggar

Take me back
Take me home
You were right
All Along
You are where I belong

If there's a sonnet
That makes you feel wanted
Then sugar I'm on it
Sugar I'm on it

A world in a world
A shell to a pearl
Is how I'll protect you
I'll always protect you

Take me back
Take me home
You were right
All along
You are where I belong
Where I belong

All I am
All I am
I've given you all I am
Given you all I am
You are where I belong

If I'm the great sea
You're what I'm reflecting
Blue in the evening
So blue in the evening

You hit like the lightning
A beauty so frightening
The Earth was dividing
The Earth was dividing

    Beautiful song. But of course that can be said about almost every Paper Route song. Still confused as to why these guys have not gotten more popularity. Spread the word people!

    I think this song is exactly what it says in the second verse: "If there’s a sonnet That makes you feel wanted Then sugar I’m on it, sugar I’m on it"

    He's writing a love song to the girl he's totally in love with. It also has the feeling that she is running from him either because he hurt her in some way ("take me back") or just because she's just scared ("I'll protect you").

    As the cliche says, "home is where the heart is", so he is begging the girl to "take me home" to "where I belong".

    I also love the line "Blue in the evening". It's a play on words, because if he is "the great sea" and she is "what [he's] reflecting", then when the sun sets, there is no light to reflect, so the sea is simply just blue. But he is also "blue" (as in sad) because she's not there with him to "reflect". (Maybe I'm reading way to far into this, but knowing PR, the lyrics are usually very poetic, so I'm guessing there is some kind of deeper meaning here, whether this is it or not).

    My two cents. Love the song. Can't wait for the rest of the album!
