Sad Summer Songs

You know it isn’t fair

To tell me that you care

You may be unaware

You have an effect on me

So tell me that you’re gone

That you are moving on

Or else all summer long

I will be asleep

Dreaming that we could be

On Mars or the Moon

That we could be happy

Star gazing in June

But that reality

Is far from the truth

And it feels so wrong

singing sad love songs about you

 

You know it isn’t fair

To tell me that you care

You may be unaware

That sends shots right through me

Whenever we’re alone

You spend the whole time on your phone

Oh yeah all summer long

I’ll feel like a creep

Thinking that we could be

On Mars or the Moon

That we could be happy

Star gazing in June

But that reality

Is far from the truth

And it feels so wrong

singing sad love songs about you

Yeah it feels so wrong

singing sad love songs about you

I’m faded and medicated

Trying to forget you

I’m faded and medicated

Trying to forget you

I’m faded and medicated

Trying to forget you

 

That it feels so wrong

singing sad love songs

Yeah the drinks are strong

singing sad love songs

Oh the nights are long

singing sad love songs

Yeah it feels so wrong

singing sad summer songs about you

Dreaming You

When I close my eyes

I’m hypnotized

Wonder why I’m dreaming you

And though we just met

Can’t seem to forget

How my heart leapt

Dreaming you

And so suddenly

You’re not the stranger that you used to be

And so suddenly

The eyes I dreamt are staring back at me

It’s unheard of

To be this in love

I’m above dreaming you

From that first kiss

I’m stuck caught in bliss

I’m remiss dreaming you

And so suddenly

You’re not the stranger that you used to be

And so suddenly

The eyes I dreamt are staring back at me

When I close eyes

I’m hypnotized

Wonder why I’m dreaming you

Holy Smokes

I swear this girl was my world

She held my heart on a string

She picked my pocket from my locker

Davy wouldn’t lock it

She’s got a hold on me

I swear this girl was everything

Picked up my pieces

Put together a king

This crafty creature made me wrong and now my bones are weaker

She’s out to get me

Holy smokes and oh my lord

This world’s got it out for me

She’ll eat your wallet and charge your soul

Cuz you learned love ain’t free

I sing holy smokes and oh my lord

I crumble to my knees

Yeah I’m on my way down

I swear this girl is hunting me

She tracks my footsteps gleaming knives in her teeth

Branded her a liar

Woke to find my kingdom drowned to fire

She wants to ruin me

I remember the calm before the storm

My baby held me close and kept me so warm

Now I’m cold

I shiver

Oh my timely death she will deliver

She wants to end me

Holy smokes and oh my lord

This world’s got it out for me

She’ll eat your wallet and charge your soul

Cuz you learned love ain’t free

I sing holy smokes and oh my lord

I crumble to my knees

Yeah I’m on my way down

Holy smokes and oh my lord

This world’s got it out for me

She’ll eat your wallet and charge your soul

Cuz you learned love ain’t free

Holy smokes and oh my lord

I crumble to my knees

Yeah I’m on my way

I said I’m on my way

Oh I’m on my way down

The City

I think Juliet is on her way to rescue me

She’ll know where to go

Maybe somewhere in the city

Cuz that’s where we belong on those times square billboard signs

Her eyes sparkling

Shining bright just like the city

She’s at Juilliard and she’s following her dreams

While I’m in chemistry

Why can’t I study the city?

And take the boulevards and all they’re golden precious things

Oh you know I would go in a heartbeat to the city

And see the world she lives in

She’ll teach me how to be strong and give me something to believe in

Like skipping chemistry and making her my song

So

Juliet, won’t you be my melody?

I will sing you through the city

Down through every numbered street

I don’t know if I’ll ever make the train

So I’ll hitchhike to the city all the way from Maine

And I sing Juliet oh Juliet

No I don’t think I will forget

Or regret the city in your eyes

I know she’ll be brave

Yeah she’s Daddy’s little girl

Her world sparkling

Shining bright just like the city

One of these days I know we’ll flow slowly in that glow

Singing ooo ooo ooo

Singing all over the city

I’ll see the world that she lives in

She’ll teach me how to be strong and give me something to believe in

Like making music and helping me belong

Juliet, won’t you be my melody?

I will sing you through the city

Down through every numbered street

I don’t know if I’ll ever make the train

So I’ll hitchhike to the city all the way from Maine

And I sing Juliet oh Juliet

No I don’t think I will forget

Or regret the city in your eyes

One of these days we will remain in those spotlights, in those streets

One of these days I’ll meet your gaze

I will sweep you off your feet

One of these days

When who could say

I just know I’ll feel complete

Like never before

No never before

With the boulevards

And Julliard

I’ll hitchhike to you

Juliet, won’t you be my melody?

I will sing you through the city

Down through every numbered street

I don’t know if I’ll ever make the train

So I’ll hitchhike to the city all the way from Maine

And I sing Juliet oh Juliet

No I don’t think I will forget

Or regret the city in your eyes

And I sing Juliet oh Juliet

No I don’t think I will resent the danger, the chase, or the surprise

Oh Juliet, just keep me in your eyes
