lyrics

It's difficult to explain the pesty, cycling phase
That is the root of my smile
From one year ago today, the feeling hasn't changed
And left me distorting every mile
Between where we met and outside your house
Where the love would reveal itself

When I discovered that the summer's eye was watching me
While I was unaware
Until I looked down past her bare feet and saw Roman sandals sitting there
My heartbeat leaped alone
Out of my chest, in remodels of old homes.
Meanwhile, summer's eye just winks and blinds me
And it comes up through a friend,
But the cycle is worth the loneliness at the end.

It's difficult to understand just what grabs this boyish man
With the force of all belonging
But one year ago today, I sat here in the same place
Writing the lyrics with the morning
As I reached for the phone,
The guilt brought me home,
and I'd never felt more alone.

When I discovered that the summer's eye was watching me
While I was unaware
Until I looked down past her bare feet and saw Roman sandals sitting there
My heartbeat leaped alone
Out of my chest, in remodels of old homes.
Meanwhile, summer's eye just winks and blinds me
And it comes up through a friend,
But the cycle is worth the loneliness at the end.

Southern girls in summer dresses
Kiss my lips and invert my senses,
Remove all decision rights,
and send a signal back to the summer's
I was just a mold of memory
To absorb and bask in every
Particle of sacred light
Sent to be my guide

I was so lucky that the summer's eye was watching me
While I was unaware
Until I looked down past her bare feet and saw Roman sandals sitting there
My heartbeat leaped alone
Out of my chest, in remodels of old homes.
Meanwhile, summer's eye just winks and blinds me
And it all occurs again,
But the cycle is worth the loneliness at the end
Therefore, I'm thankful that we were once friends.
