lyrics

Summer is sand
A makeshift desert
Sleep just a wink away
Summer is heat
Increased for no reason
Sun and earth
Agreed to play.

Summer is failing
Summer is strain,
the worst and best of times,
stuck in frozen lanes.
Summer is silly,
shorts and misery
Sat side by side
as it starts to rain.

Summer is thrilling--
Instant surrender,
A pure biological exchange.
We molt like a cobra,
we’re sad when it’s over.
All we wanted
was some kind of change.

Summer is soda
A crazy proposal
when winter
was deep in our veins.
Hopes were brewing
down in the mortal basin
and the thought,
“Will you come home to stay?”
