Hang dog you sitting And counting nameless stars And when you look down You're beginning to fall away You dried up like an august creekbed I mounted in an album With some photos of your summer friends I can't tell what the note on the back said You're moving like a poem And it hurts to see you going I recall the smell of summer On your skin We were seventeen And everything was pounding And it wouldn't stop It's hard to put to words What i was thinking then I don't know, we were alive or something Browned off sitting amidst the endless cars And when you stall out They're beginning to pull away You dried up like an august creekbed I mounted in an album With some photos of your summer friends I can't tell what the note on the back said You're moving like a poem And it hurts to see you going I remember licking ice cream Off your chin We were seventeen And everything was pounding And it wouldn't stop It's hard to put to words What i was thinking then I don't know, we were in love or something I recall the smell of summer on your skin We were seventeen and everything was pounding And it wouldn't stop It's hard to put to words What i was thinking then I don't know, we were alive or something
