Orion I could see you looking down Small houses They were built into the ground At a distance You can't see what's falling down If you're up close You can almost hear the sound Of someone I remember We would pack our things into the car Though we never got too far It's a wonder to discover How the winter finds its way to spring Being young meant everything In the summer Constellations Are you laughing at us all? We rage As we watch our heroes fall If they're up there Remember them to me Like my grandpa On the beach of Normandy In the summer we remember While Orion's sword is burning out Lovers long forgotten now There were mothers who discover The winter finds its way to spring Parents don't know everything In the summer Oh, the stars the still the same Oh, they see all of our pain Oh, they can't do anything And slowly they explode Orion To be young and insecure It's the trade-off It's the cost of wanting more Every summer Remember To pack your things into a car And if you never get too far Take a number Discover You'd be doing what your parents did Don't you dare forget it, kid In the summer I remember That Orion's sword is burning out And love will be forgotten now In the summer
