Summer

Summer is beautiful, I wanna go

On a long yellow drive to the end of the road

Where the sun sets like butter slippin' down warm toast

Summer is beautiful, perfectly made

For the snowcone-stained children and lovers in lakes

On a warm summer evening in the middle of June

Words sound like honey drippin' off of a spoon

And the silvery silence, a mirror of the moon

I am the moth circling the porch light

Will you stay with me till morning?

Will you give me, just this night?

You just kiss my forehead and say you have to go

And I feel like lukewarm water, and I feel like

Nothing at all

So I'll just drive around the blueing suburban streets

Tryin' hard not to think of how the houses all repeat

And the strip malls and the phone calls that are waiting for me when I get home

Summer is beautiful, the air grows hot and sweet

Something's bound to happen, ain't that summer's guarantee?

So how come every summer I get so damn lonely?

How come every summer I get so damn lonely?

How come every summer I get so damn lonely?

How come every summer I get so damn lonely?
