I'm afraid of summer
because you know I can't swim
I get lost in the water
when the tide pulls me in

below her gently
her feet in the clay
she searches for answers
in his shadowy face

I'm afraid of summer
because you know I can't swim
I get lost in the water
when the tide pulls me in

the neighbors whisper
wonder if they should care
they find her talking with no one
softly kissing the air

down the stairwell
the day that he left
her body remembers
what the mind will forget

I'm afraid of summer
because you know I can't swim
I get lost in the water
when the tide pulls me in

you can never go home
