lyrics

how’d we cram an entire summer
into the middle of april?
i wonder if ill ever get used to it-
the beautiful open rotting heat and how it eats

it makes me wanna lay down and let the tall lights have their way with me
fourth of july leaving my socks on the beach
in a last-ditch offering
to the ocean in a plea for irony

maybe the coming and the going
need to be quick when
the meaning starts showing
I can feel it grow
Its growing

otherwise us humans start to get greedy
flirting with the impossible glow of longevity
but can you blame me?
can you blame me.

otherwise,
all of that aside,
i guess what’s inside
is that i feel
my heart

and its beating like that car blinker
i can feel it pulling signaling hard on my left side
and you sweat so much in your sleep
i thought you had caught the fever and rolled on your right side
to say goodbye before you died

i wish your photosynthetic reliance on the sun wasn’t so strong
but i’m just jealous that something so bright could inspire a drive that long
or more accurately i wish i could handle the warm bright all over me too
so i could have ridden shotgun, at least for a little while with you

and to be honest i wish you wouldn’t talk about the aliens so much
cause i know they’re gonna come back to take you home
and won’t have an address to keep in touch
but regardless of where you go i wanna go so i guess ill see you soon
i know ill see you i guess ill see you i hope i see you
