Summers Lost - Intellectual

[Instrumental Intro]

Lie to me, say you were wrong

Like you have too many times

And I'll believe it's not my fault

Like I have too much time

So, hear me now boy, stay alive

'Cause that's the way it should go

And would your maker have opened your eyes if

He preferred them closed?

To feel the weight of summers lost

I'd love to have you near

And all the times we ever crossed

It was just to keep you here

To try to be something you are not

Like I have for you and promised to

I know we'll get through this

And won't let you do it, so stop

And make believe that I'm not wrong

'Cause if I was, we'd all be gone!

Just to feel the weight of summers lost

I'd love to have you here

And all the times we ever crossed

It's just to keep you here

Just to feel the pain of summers lost

I'd love to have you here

And all the times we ever crossed

It was just to keep you here

Nights without end seem to bleed into days

Try to forget that it turned out this way

I wear the mark of the permanent stain

Not accidentally, I cursed God's good name

I am still mortified, yet believed in a way

That when my days are done, we'd be in the same place

When winters mean brimstone, I set sail for Euphrates

All I can say is it's a goddamn shame!

That we'd feel the pain of summer's loss

I'd love to have new years

And all the times I've missed my loss

It was just to keep you. just to keep you

Just to keep you here with me!
