I don’t know how but I lost count

Days in the heather and nights in the gloam

Lacunas of ‘I don’t remember’

Haloed in silver, haloed in gold

I filled my pockets up with promises

Of the weight of the world

Still I would leave this town on my own two feet

If I only knew which way was out

We are a conquest of bellies

And we are the steam rolling off

And we are the light changed forever

We are cicada skins in the lawn

We are the freezer door hanging open

We are the misty kitchen cloud

We would leave this town on our own two feet

If we only knew which way was out

I’ve only stayed for this

I’ve only stayed for this

This summer madness is alive, I’m alive

I’ve only stayed for this

I’ve only stayed for this

This summer madness is alive, I’m alive

Somewhere between my house and here I saw the truth

Oh, somewhere between my house and here I saw the truth

Ah, you won’t believe me, you won’t believe me, ah

You never do

I’ve only stayed for this

I’ve only stayed for this

This summer madness is alive, I’m alive

I’ve only stayed for this

I’ve only stayed for this

This summer madness is alive, I’m alive

Alive, I’m alive

I’m alive
