Summer

I'll breathe in I want a pause to move me

You breathe out I need some heat to disrupt the serene

Icicle bones harden with every week

Rattling off about breaks but won’t concede

It takes seven years to become brand new

I’ll spend the next eight asleep hibernate deja vu

If I can be summer

The world won't fall away

If we can be somewhere

The color saturates the grey

The sun hasn’t shown its face in weeks

And the snow has turned to ash on our cheeks

We’ll dig in before they dig us out roll the windows down let the cold surround us

I’m not leaving until we glow

I'm not satisfied until my skin erodes

This coma can’t be all I know

If I can be summer

The world won't fall away

If we can be somewhere

The color saturates the grey

If it’s not that bad and we’ll make it out

Then ask the breeze to dance around our doubt

But it can't be summer

When winter won't leave the frame

A bad season for a better you

Most fertile ground still bears bitter fruit

To be a turning leaf than a growing vine beauty remembered instead of a burden in time

I’m not satisfied until my skin erodes

This coma can't be all I know

If I can be summer

The world won't fall away

If we can be somewhere

The color saturates the grey

If it’s not that bad and we’ll make it out

Then ask the breeze to dance around our doubt

But it can't be summer

(It can't be summer)

When winter won't leave the frame
