Dear summer
I don't know if I can talk to you again
Dear summer
You were just a fair weathered friend
As I sit here lighting matches
Another summer night
Another rite of passage
Another fair weathered friend waves goodbye
Lightning crashes
All I wanted was a longshore dream
A cigarette summer and a boardwalk beach
Where our talk gets cheap
And our skin is cut up by the broken bottles under our bare feet
Yeah but something ain't right
Call the paramedics it's a blood moon sky
Nothing lasts when the summer sails by
Like our flood of emotion on those hurricane nights
And I
Keep counting...
I keep waiting to take my steps
I keep looking for some great revelation
And I still haven't found it yet
Now I've got friends getting married
And I know kids having kids
Everybody's moving on but me
And it is what it is
All my friends are getting married
All those kids are having kids
It's fine to settle down but I'm afraid I'm gonna drown
If I ever even try and throw out an anchor from my ship
Dear summer
I don't know if I can talk to you again
Dear summer
You were just a fair weathered friend
Dear summer
I don't know if I can talk to you again
Dear summer
I don't know
As I sit here leaning forward
I feel the breeze of wedding season calling
I watched an old friend leave this morning
Through the heat, through the grief, through the secrets we're keeping dormant
And then it dawns on me
I spent the best years of my life being haunted
They walk down the aisle
But I might stay a while
Here with the mosquitos and the tiki torches
But, but yeah something ain't right
Call the paramedics it's a blood moon sky
I miss the way we went through it at times
Till the sun came up on those suicide nights
All my
Friends are changing
I've never even left my head
I keep looking for some great explanation
And I still haven't found it yet
I've got friends getting married
And I know kids having kids
Everybody's settled down but me
And it is what it is
All my friends are getting married
And all those kids are having kids
It's fine to settle down but I'm afraid I'm gonna drown
If I ever even try and throw out an anchor from my ship
Dear summer
I don't know if I can talk to you again
Dear summer
You were just a fair weathered friend
Dear summer
I don't know if I can talk to you again
Dear summer
I don't know
Another summer looking back
Nothing perfect ever lasts
All these great storms come to pass
All these great storms come to pass
Another summer looking back
Nothing perfect ever lasts
All these great storms come to pass
All these great storms come to pass
