It was eating away

How we didn’t bother

You were counting the days

And I felt smothered

Now we’ve taken space

And the will to recover

It’s great to see the smiling faces

Of our brand new lovers

If I’m honest I’m another

Whole people waver like a landslide

I’m glad you called this summer

I hear you keeping on the bright side

Oh well- we hurt each other

A failure by design

It’s time to clear the clutter

I’m always rooting from your sideline

I know I’ll miss your sister’s kids

And I’ll ask about your mother

Think it’s just that kind of thing

Even though we know we’ll never

Oh it hits this type of change

Rattles at the shutters

All the sudden shift of lanes

Yeah now you’re burning rubber

If I’m honest I’m another

Whole people waver like a landslide

I’m glad you called this summer

I hear you keeping on the bright side

Oh well- we hurt each other

A failure by design

It’s time to clear the clutter

I’m always rooting from your sideline

I think we tried to prove them wrong

Just like the kids do

I think you knew it all along

And I think I did too

If I’m honest I’m another

Whole people waver like a landslide

I’m glad you called this summer

I hear you keeping on the bright side

Oh well- we hurt each other

A failure by design

It’s time to clear the clutter

I’m always rooting from your sideline
