Albatross (Summer Comes, Summer Goes)

Summer comes and summer goes

Summer comes and summer goes

Summer comes and summer goes

Summer comes and summer goes

We climbed up the mountain

With the sun chewing our skin

Each rolling our stones until we

Let them fall again

Blood oath from the blisters

And the vertebrae I grew, it's

No surprise I lost upright

When I gave it to you

Then you got married

Congratulations! I was buried, and I

Didn't intend to bring you down with me, but

Where were you, when we

Promised we would always be

The bandage on each others broken wings?

We cut our plan in half and

auctioned our possessions

"If we have each other we can

outlast this recession"

Blood oath from the blisters and a

crescent thumbnail scar

But medicine is easier than

Hot nights in a car

Resorting to what we swore to break

For a matchstick in the dark

Then you got married

Congratulations! I was buried, and I

Didn't intend to bring you down with me, but

Where were you, when we

Promised we would always be

The bandage on each others broken wings?

Summer comes and summer goes

Summer comes and summer goes

Summer comes and summer goes

And the months of autumn turn cold

I shed this rotten bird

From my shoulders

And I'm unlearning all I knew

Including what "we" meant to you

There's nothing left to say except

I hope you did what's best for

You
