lyrics

I used to think that everything was cut and dry
That’s how I wound up all alone
If I were you, I wouldn’t go through all of that
There’s just one thing you need to know

You don’t need to shovel sunshine
You don’t need the struggle
You don’t need to shovel sunshine, anyways

It’s getting late for any miracles or psychic tricks
Feels like you’re stuck inside your head
Don’t look at me, I’ve got a universe to run up here
Just take a look at you instead
Yeah, yeah

Well, you don’t need to shovel sunshine
You don’t need the struggle
You don’t need to shovel sunshine, anyways

Oh, when you look at the sun
It’s shining forever, shining for everyone, yeah
When you open your eyes,
It's not the first time that it’s shining for everyone
Come over, Come over
Come over, Come over here, yeah

Oh, You don’t need to shovel sunshine
You don’t need the struggle
You don’t need to shovel sunshine anyways
Oh, You don’t need to shovel sunshine
You don’t need the struggle
You don’t need to shovel sunshine anyways
