Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Drivin' through ghost town
Metal horses a thousand feet high
Orange sky
[Verse 2]
Pullin' your top down in the back
Of some pretty boy's ride
You get high
[Verse 3]
Avenues empty as forty-four clips
Cargo ships, teen zombies ghost ridin' their whips
(See how they play)
[Verse 4]
You're always summer breaking
Runnin' wild in the streets after dark
You're always summer breaking
Hangin' out with the boys in the park
[Verse 5]
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone)
To break your fall
[Verse 6]
Give him a haircut in the old
Kitchen chair in your yard
Saint Delilah
[Verse 7]
He thinks you care, does he know
You're too bright and too hard?
Like a diamond
[Verse 8]
Play your game, play him the way you played me
Be the girl you pretend to pretend not to be
(See how you play)
[Verse 9]
You're always summer breaking
Runnin' wild in the street after dark
You're always summer breaking
Hangin' out with the boys in the park
[Verse 10]
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone)
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need something)
[Verse 11]
Summer is gone
(You're gonna need someone)
To break your fall
