I fell in love with the city
 At first sight it looked pretty
 We used to share the same love for grey
 Through the blanket of clouds
 It wasn't easy
 To be sure that the sun [bad word] back

I used to walk on the autumn leaves
 Now they're only burnin' my feet 

Wake me up in July
 Lick the snow from my eyes
 Underneath the blue sky
 All I need is my bike

Wake me up in July
 Lick the snow from my eyes
 We will catch the shooting stars
 On the blackboard night sky

Need to curse to talk about you
 Need you less than I felt I would
 What have you done to make the light go away
 I can cheat on you with every city
 But they only make love just the same

I used to walk on the autumn leaves
 Now they're only burnin' my feet

Wake me up in July
 Lick the snow from my eyes
 We will catch the shooting stars
 On the blackboard night sky

Wake me up in July
 Lick the snow from my eyes
 Underneath the blue sky
 All I need is my bike

Wake me up in July
 Lick the snow from my eyes
 We can catch the shooting stars
 On the blackboard night sky 

Wake me up in July
 Lick the snow from my eyes
 Underneath the blue sky
 All I need is my bike

Wake me up in July
