Last Summer
I need no reason
To pull up my roots
It's time to fly
And break my own rules
This situation
Is way out of hand
Cool down the water
And walk on dry land
It was the last summer
The year of the freak
It was the last summer
Got nothing to drink
It was the last summer
Just jump in the car
It was the last summer
How's that cigar?
Pack up your bags
And stay for the night
Light a red candle
And open your eyes
Pretend to think
We're not so young
I've got a needle
You've got a tongue
It was the last summer
The year of the freak
It was the last summer
Got nothing to drink
It was the last summer
Just jump in the car
It was the last summer
Who needs a cause?
{guitar solo}
Forget the dreams
That don't have an end
The wasted nights
Without any gin
There's many reasons
To check out this world
Without the oysters
There'd be no pearl
It was the last summer
The year of the freaks
It was the last summer
Just give me some treats
It was the last summer
This trip will go far
It was the last summer
Do you know where you are?
{repeat chorus}{last line follows}
Do you know who you are?
Between the Lines
I've been trying to kill myself
Long before I ever met you
I'm trying to understand
Why I feel so alive today
I found a message on the 'net
That said you had gone away
So why do I keep searching
In a world that's now unplugged
I don't recall the last time
I walked on shallow water
There must be something in the air
That makes my eyes turn red
I looked much younger yesterday
When the sky was so much darker
I try to focus past the logic
But the clouds stand in the way
{chorus}
Do you really think there is a place
Where I can find you hiding
Do you really think there is a time
When we can be alone
I used to think we'd never find
A moment in time together
Why does the sun always hide
When I walk between the lines
{bridge}
It's been a long, long day
I've spent miles on this road
I've gone a long, long way
Gonna find my back home
There's a reason I keep looking
There's a madness in my mind
I think maybe I should look elsewhere
Is it possible I might find you
It's been a long, long day
I've spent miles on this road
I've gone a long, long way
Gonna find my back home
{repeat chorus}
Flying solo used to be easy
When the birds kept in the trees
Hid behind camouflaged branches
Their songs were barely heard
But now the death of fall draws near
And they gather and form dark clouds
Is it any wonder I can't find you
When my feet stay on the ground
{repeat chorus}
{outro}
It's been a long, long day
I've spent miles on this road
I've gone a long, long way
Gonna find my back home
Every Time
Every time I hold my breath
A bird sings
Every time I take a step
A bell rings
I know it must be true
The world keeps spinning tears
And the only reason
I call your name
Is to prove that I'm still here
Every time my heart skips
The sky cries
Every time I miss a dream
My eyes hide
The matter of our lives
Has a way of floating away
And the only reason
I know you're close
Is your image is so real
There's a candle burning tonight
