Summer Cold

You could be my favorite vice

And nothing would suffice

All the promises you made

Just fade away with day

I think I let you stay too long

Poisoning this love

I think I let you in too deep

Poisoning this love

I hear you scratching at the walls

Waiting for a call

I've been up pacing all night

Wondering your fate

I think I let you stay too long

Poisoning this love

I think I let you in too deep

Poisoning this love

I need to get out of my head

I need to stop thinking myself into a rut

She said that she liked my shirt

I gave my reply and just

Kept my eyes straight forward

I sat there while everyone left

Hoping that she would

Say something 'fore she went

I need to get out of my head

I don't wanna be alone but I am scared

Your deadbeat summer's halfway done

You've given everything for fun

Spent all last winter feeling sad

Said this would compensate for that

And even though the stars have all aligned

And you've barely seen your mother or your home

Yeah I can hear the angst inside your tongue

Yeah I can hear the fear inside your heart

No matter how hard you try to run you can't escape

This feeling inside of you it stings like a summer cold

You're working hours just to float

You try so hard to love your friends

Spent all high school falling apart

College came and felt the same

And you've always wanted to be far away

Yet something always pulls you back inside

I'm waiting for the day when you'll be free

I wanna see you break away from here

No matter how hard you try to run you can't escape

This feeling inside of you it stings like a summer cold

You're a gypsy

I'm a full moon

Shining this light on your

Pretty black lies as you

Stare at your phone till you go

You're a car crash

At midnight

And there's blood on the floor

As you reach for your phone

Try to call anyone that you can

And all I can see is that

Everything's wrong with your

Empty, blank stare

As you're searching for

Something more

To come alive

You're a burn out

Like you said you'd

Never become as you're

Falling apart

In the backyard of somebody's house

You're a backhand

To your own self

As you're screaming about

That last cigarette

That you dropped on the ground somewhere else

And all I can see is that

Everything's wrong with your

Empty, blank stare

As you're searching for

Something more

To come alive
