Sleep All Summer

[Verse 1: Eric Bachmann & Neko Case]

Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean

Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue

We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things

To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bachmann, Neko Case, both]

(Close your weary eyes)

But every time we turn away

(Until the wintertime)

It hits me like a tidal wave

I would change for you

But babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man

Gave the ocean what I took from you

So one day you can find it in the sand

And hold it in your hands again

[Chorus: Eric Bachmann & Neko Case]

Cold ways kill cool lovers

Strange ways we use each other

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

There ain't no way we're gonna find another

The way we sleep all summer

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

[Post-Chorus: Eric Bachmann & Neko Case]

Combing over Broken Cross I held onto you

Haunted by the ghost of something new

[Verse 2: Eric Bachmann & Neko Case]

Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over

Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes

There must be a better way to pull a home apart

To keep the walls from caving in

Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue

[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bachmann, Neko Case, both]

(Close your weary eyes)

But every time we turn away

(Until the wintertime)

It hits me like a tidal wave

I would change for you

But babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man

Gave the ocean what I took from you

So one day you could find it in the sand

And hold it in your hands again

[Chorus: Eric Bachmann & Neko Case]

Cold ways kill cool lovers

Strange ways we use each other

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

There ain't no way we're gonna find another

The way we sleep all summer

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

[Outro: Eric Bachmann & Neko Case]

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

Why won't you fall back in love with me?

Why won't you fall back in love with me?
