Summer

[Verse 1]

Summer, and what happens after summer’s ending

Naked, out of breath, a hand clutched to my chest

I’ll waste no time in saying, "this is a familiar craving"

I can’t stop until I’m holding on, I won’t wait long

[Chorus]

And there’s an old guitar tuned the way I like

And the ocean’s blue sparkles in the light

[Verse 2]

List off reason after reason to keep from leaving

Champagne on the porch and when we’re done there's always more

Oh, call this what you want, “An accidental true, true love”

It isn’t that it’s not enough, but look what’s waiting, look what I could touch

[Chorus]

A little room shaped just the way I like

And the city’s blue sparkles in the light

[Verse 3]

Summer, and what happens after summer’s ending

Dinner, hours long and I’m reminded of a song

I’ll sing, you’ll nod and hum and time will stretch out into something

Soft and barely moving, I’ll ignore what I am losing

[Chorus]

I’ll keep your old guitar tuned the way I like

Won’t let the long nights doom sharpen in the light
