Summerlong - Kathleen Edwards

I know how to play this game

one, two, three and I’m safe

count real slow to five

you couldn’t keep me around if you tried

I know how to beat the rage

of my tender age

touch me once in the hall

but don’t look back and don’t call

There are some things I can hardly say

You’ve got me feeling a brand new way

Please don’t let this be summerlong

And I used to play this game

in the middle lane

pass them all on the inside

and don’t get caught in a lie

There are some things I can hardly say

You’ve got me feeling a brand new way

Please don’t let this be summerlong

Cuz I want to stay

All the nights and wasted time

trying to get my head to change its mind

all the talk of what it could be

when it never was

There are some things I can hardly say

You’ve got me feeling a brand new way

Please don’t let this be just summerlong

Please don’t let this be summerlong

Cuz I want to stay
