lyrics

Well it'd be swell if you'd take my hand
Yell our deepest secrets as we run through the sand
Let's frolic through the garden and just be merry
Take some pictures by the spoon and cherry
It's like lighting fireworks on the Fourth of July
Above us, an empty canvas of a starry sky
Will we light the fuses and paint our masterpiece
Or let the suspense define our story?

Spare me songs about your sun-bleached life
Bonfires left burning on the coast tonight
Out here it's still dead leaves buried by fallen snow
Until the summer sun returns to save my soul

Spare me songs about your sun-bleached life
Bonfires left burning on the coast tonight
Out here it's still dead leaves buried by fallen snow
Until the summer sun returns to save my soul

Take an evening trot across the stone arch
The pale moonlight's all we've got let love hit its mark
A photo memento for the memory
Sometimes love can be so temporary
If I sing into this seashell will you hear me?
A song of beaches, breezes, and sunny days with me
I just hope that my heartfelt message can get through
And you will know how I feel about you

Spare me songs about your sun-bleached life
Bonfires left burning on the coast tonight
Out here it's still dead leaves buried by fallen snow
Until the summer sun returns to save my soul

Cicada drones provide the
Soundtrack to the infinite stars
This still life: a midsummer vignette
Framed by the hood of your car
Waiting
In the dark
With the high beams on
Sycamores sway
To those same
Old heartbreak songs
We loved
How it was
When we were young
As a band from
Our past life sings
"All you need is love"

Spare me songs about your sun-bleached life
Bonfires left burning on the coast tonight
Out here it's still dead leaves buried by fallen snow
Until the summer sun returns to save my soul

So, I wrote this song about our sun-kissed lives
Our summer skin shimmers in resplendent light
Thought I'd leave this place some years ago
Stuck in a steadfast state of Stockholm Syndrome

Summer sun save my soul
