I call it what it was It was the summer that ended And how the thoughtless defended me I cool my eyes on the highway And I know there's more than just my way to see I was alive in battle A kind of shadow I know when sober I hide in colour Caught in the gaze of your life Amazing or lie I know I'm sheltered from all that matters I'm a raging fire On my way down But I recall it well We made quite the sight As the final piece of the puzzles find If you were mine for a second, I I woulda let you down I'ma look in the ditch For all that I thought was beauty Maybe I threw out something that I need I'll cool my eyes in the daylight And I know that I can't speak right I was a way to shatter All that mattered I know when sober I hide in colour Caught in the rays in your eyes Gaze in awe, I I know I'm sheltered from all that matters I'm a raging fire On my way down But I recall it well We made quite the sight And as the final piece of the puzzles find If you were mine for a second, I I woulda let you down It's the state I'm in And I won't come 'round Until I take a fall Until I lose it all I could be with you If it made any sense at all If you were mine for a second I'm certain I woulda done you wrong
