lyrics

Summer strikes and there's that thickness in the air
Slice it with a knife and let it bleed and would you care?
There's a world of green on fire and it's so serene
In a thinner place I'm gasping for air, stumbling

If we've met before I'm sorry I don't know your name
It's been a year or more of faces that all look the same
Now I'm home and I've forgotten all those words I learned
It's so easy once you've used up everything you earned

And here's my little place now
And they're gonna show me how
Show me how it is

And they're gonna show us all when
Oh it's four years out the door, then
And we're begging at the back stairs
Humbly walking off in pairs.
