Fading Summers

August in a glass I cannot save

Your hand on mine,

then rain (ooh)

Every year arrives with heavier weather Maps redraw while we sleep

Plans come loose like threads from my sweater Nothing stays where it

should be

We were laughing at the corner store With borrowed light on your

face

I did not know an ordinary summer Could turn into a place

Months keep slipping through my sleeves I count them after they leave

If I could keep one frame alive It would be you beside

me

Hold me where the summer ends

Before the road forgets our names If all we get is one

last then I will love it through the ache (ooh)

Newsprint curls in the kitchen heat All bad signs,

all new names

We kept dancing through a broken week Making jokes in the rain

Now the season folds behind us Soft as clothes on a chair

Maybe later I will miss this mess Because you were still there

Hold me where the summer ends

Before the road forgets our names

If all we get is one last then I will love it

through the ache (ahhhh)

Time does not run straight

It spills, it turns

I kept the smallest day

And watched it burn (ooh)

Hold me where the summer ends Before the road forgets our names

All that chaos, all that rain Still you stayed until it changed (ooh)
