Summer - Fireworks

Borrowed

I think this year has left me borrowed

Tomorrow I’m waking up the sun

I’m dragging the lake slow

Follow this life line of memories

Tangled by the water side

That’s where my youth drowned

It fell by the wayside

I’m not counting the greys on my head

I’m calling them silver linings instead

It doesn’t matter

We take off our shoes and pull out pieces of the lawn

While people light off fireworks

Then they set off car alarms

You will always be the leaf to my tree

But this year fall came

And I never saw spring

It fell by the wayside

I’ll keep my wisdom like a tooth

I’m spinning in the black hole of youth

It doesn’t matter

We take off our shoes and pull out pieces of the lawn

While people light off fireworks

Then they set off car alarms

My mind is trained to

I want to find dead bodies with my closest friends

And to long for DC at two AM under Lincoln

Let’s stay close like the monuments

Carve our names in stone

Let’s stay close like the monuments

Carve our names in stone

It doesn’t matter

We take off our shoes and pull out pieces of the lawn

While people light off fireworks

Then they set off car alarms

My mind is trained to

I want to find dead bodies with my closest friends

And to long for DC at two AM under Lincoln

So let’s stay close like the monuments

Carve our names in stone

Let’s stay close like the monuments

Carve our names in stone
