lyrics

I used to know you
But you have changed
You used to speak to me
Now I feel estranged

Couldn't get closer
I wanted things
But my anger
Held back by my heartstrings

Another day
In the summer of decay
I lost my love, I lost my way
Still I lie in bed and blame

All the people and the things
i could've changed, I’m feeling feeble
‘Cause when the moment it starts to rain
I’ll live my summer out again

From the backbeat of my heart
My love for you, tears me apart
I’m trapped inside, sun cannot help
I went away to wreck myself

Endless summer will it go on
Will you love me when I am gone
A little hope helps me with pain
A chance to speak to you again

It be a long time
Before i feel sun shine
I know that
It’s wrong to try

But my reasons
That you don't seem to buy
There's no explaining
So I still live like this

Another day
In the summer of decay
I lost my love, I lost my way
Still i lie in bed and blame

All the people and the things
I could've changed, I’m feeling feeble
‘Cause when the moment it starts to rain
I’ll live my summer out again

Slow the beating of my heart
I'm left to tear myself apart
I gotta know just where to start
To live my summer without a heart

I must start searching so I am found
I spent my summer on the ground
Open my eyes and step outside
The endless summer's a free ride
