It was the summer of nothing, summer of changes Spending time between craigslist and white empty pages I was so busy just trying to save us I didn't notice you slipping away I found your notebooks just like you asked They're there on your nightstand For when you get back It's been a few weeks but I'm starting to lost track of the time Gil, give yourself up And come on home Ain't you had enough We ain't no good on our own I know you're scared, I'm just as scared as you Gil, I know the way the summer here can get the best of you Come on give yourself up I remember sitting down by the water Thinking of names that might one day be our daughter A boy's was easy, but a girl's was harder to get right And I still go down and sit at that spot most days Thought I'd see you there just writing away With your head in a notebook Til you'd look up at me and say you just needed some time Oh, to give yourself up And come on home Ain't you had enough We ain't no good on our own I know you're scared, I'm just as scared as you Gil, I know the way the summer here can get the best of you Come on give yourself up Solo Come on give yourself up And come on home Ain't you had enough We ain't no good on our own I know you're scared, I'm just as scared as you Gil, I know the way the summer here can get the best of you Gil I know there's nothing that we can't get through Come on give yourself up Come on give yourself up Come on give yourself up Come on give yourself up Give yourself up Give yourself up
