Left behind when summer’s over
In quiet lineups by the lake
Cheating hearts descend like clouds of falling leaves
To lie and rot and wait for rain

Summer heat will you drain your blood from me
Into lawns and limpid pools where you kiss was young and [bad word] Cut by cut and play by play
It will always be this way

Summer love (x3)

If I could only hold your heart
And never beat again (x2)

Someone’s breathe against your shoulder
Someone’s voice to say your name
Just as long as someone’s there to break your fall
Longer shadows shorter days

Summer heat will you drain your blood from me
Into lawns and limpid pools where you kiss was young and [bad word] Cut by cut and play by play
It will always be this way

Summer love (x9)

If I could only hold your heart
I’d never beat again

If I could only hold your heart
I’d never beat again (x2)

If I could only hold your heart
I’d never beat again (x2)
