about

-a song about losing your mind in the summertime-

lyrics

I woke heavy in the sunshine
lucid daydream, turned to you honey
asked baby where on earth have I been

I saw warm hearts turn cold in the light of day
there was love on the baking concrete
but it dried away

i don't know what to say to you anymore
i see waves that break before they hit the shore

so don't you leave me for lady make believe
i know its not easy
but don't fade baby don't burn quietly
and sometimes its hard to breathe
and the thick city air weighs heavily
but baby oh mercy me don't leave me for my lady

don't cry sweetheart
there's no worse than your own mind
mind out for the shadows they move in
make their homes before you know

i cant watch as they dance for you anymore
its as much as i can do to stand here in the door

so don't you leave me for lady make believe
i know its not easy
but don't fade baby don't burn quietly
and sometimes its hard to breathe
and the thick summer air weighs heavily
but baby oh mercy me don't leave me for my lady

but i am on my way
and i am on my way

so don't you leave me for lady make believe
i know its not easy
but don't turn to her when you could turn to me
and sometimes its hard to breathe
and the thick city air weighs heavily
but baby oh mercy me don't leave me for my lady
