When it was summer I played until the moonlight And my vision of the future was a day or two ahead When it was summer I lived the way I wanted Now I try to do that but live the way I think I should instead I’ve gotten older but not wiser Because I know that things were simpler then If someone tries to tell you these are the best days of your life Well next year they’re gonna tell you again When it was summer It was all a big deal Except for things that now occupy a big space in my brain When it was summer All I wanted was to be grown up But I don’t remember when that changed My my my my my intentions Are inventions and dimensions Of a never ending thread My my my my my intentions Are just misdirections Disguised inside my head When it was summer I looked in the mirror But only after a shower to draw pictures in the glass Everything was better in the good old days But we can’t help it, we grow up too fast There’s nothing wrong with thinking back on good times But you’re in trouble when you’re living in the past

Not The Same 04:52
You put your head up to the window as the bus drove away, eyebrows raised and I knew it would be a long two weeks The thought of you just won’t do, the more I say your name I’ve got everything to do but without you it’s not the Same things keep happening day by day but slower and slower, the days go by and I’m sitting in my room counting the whys The thought of you just won’t do, the more I say your name I’ve got everything to do but without you it’s not the Same things happen to you Oh of course they do Do the same things happen to you Of course they do Can I believe you I have to You put your head up to the window as the bus drove away, eyebrows raised and I knew it would be a long two weeks The thought of you just won’t do, the more I say your name I’ve got everything to do but without you it’s not the

In your room we sat down You looked away I looked at the ground I said do you still love me the same The air stagnant and stale My foot shook, my hands cold and pale My eyes met yours as you answered the question Oh I had to turn away When you took my hand and said baby kiss me ‘Cause I, knew it was goodbye I came to drop off your clothes I rang the doorbell but no one was home so I Let myself in with your keys which I left on the stairs I turned round as I drove Checked to make sure you weren’t on your way home And I thought ah, maybe it all will be fine Eyes on the road, bit my lip and tried not to cry But it didn’t work, I knew it was goodbye

Let’s look at ourselves And stop looking at each other It’s all up to you Don’t think anybody cares You do what you want Don’t let anybody stop you Let’s power them off and start again

The Sun 01:04
What is it about the sun That brings the good in everyone? Do you notice that you change when it rains? But it just takes one Moment of sun So what does that say about us? What does that say about us?

Make Believe 05:45
Let’s pretend the world is crashing down around us Let’s forget that we’re ok Pretend that we know nothing of the future And maybe we want it that way Up above us there are stars painted on the ceiling The closet is shut, the nightlight holds our hand And luckily for us everything is perfect But let’s pretend that we don’t understand Imagine what would happen if we made a big mistake And there was no turning back But don’t think too hard about it Cuz that’s all make believe The doors are locked, triple checked, we’re safe in here Peak out the window confirms there’s nothing to fear Let’s all pretend it’s a matter of time Before we’re faced with the evidence of our crimes Imagine what would happen if we made a big mistake And there was no turning back But don’t think too hard about it Cuz that’s all make believe We’ve worked it out and we’ll be fine Make believe, the future will come in time Make believe, you do your thing and I’ll do mine
