Words and Music by ADDA
Suckin' on a limeade, starin' out the window
Could it have only been three days ago
Time flies when you're having fun it's true
A week went by in just a day or two
Making the most of the time at hand
Double scoops at the local ice cream stand
Skipping stones into Lake Grapevine
It's not much for looks, rocky shore, dark brine
Thunder and lightning from a back porch view
I waited all summer and the wish came true
A modern Summer of '69
All crushed down into five days time
But like Tantalus longing for food and for water
It was always just out of reach somehow
And the sky is filled with indian givers, yeah
Here's your cake but you can't eat it now
Boss is callin' me into work, I said no way
It's a hundred and twelve, but as fun as a snow day
Floating in a pool for four hours straight, well
It gave me time to think and the sunburn from hell
Take in a ball game with nachos and Pepsi
By my side were a mitt and perfect company
But like Tantalus longing for food and for water
It was always just out of reach somehow
And the sky is filled with indian givers, yeah
Here's your cake but you can't eat it now
Suckin' on a limeade, starin' out the window
The story was over before it had begun
For now I'm content to just sit here and wait
Cause there's bound to be another one
But like Tantalus longing for food and for water
It was always just out of reach somehow
And the sky is filled with indian givers, yeah
Here's your cake but you can't eat it now
