[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hot like the afternoons
When you kiss her on the mouth
Locked on the common ground
You won't say you love me now
Cooled by the waterside
I'll just wait till you find out
Pressed up against my door
You'll just say "he's different now."
[Chorus]
He dissolved like the blood
That you had called for on my afternoons
You were right all that time
To feel like nothing you said made a difference
[Verse 2]
Hot like the summer night
When your brother went to state
Framed in the parking lot
You left all the things you hate
Laid down across my lap
You said "do I still calm you down?"
Promised a later day
That just spilled out of my mouth
[Chorus]
He dissolved like the blood
That you had called for on my afternoons
You were right all that time
To feel like nothing you said made a difference
[Bridge]
And I lost my phone in that summer water
The night your brother left town
And I could feel your hands move through that river
Across my chest for the last time
