lyrics

I could expect to see a utopia in my lifetime
However;
We won’t be out here forever
So let’s go
Just live out the summer with me
We will float down the river
Have a laugh that we once feared the stream
Just live the summer with me.

Hmm, Hmm…

Those boys in the backyard, those boys in the front yard
Those hits you take too hard
Just marks on the scorecard to you —
They are all with us too.
Separation no longer a truth
That was only for clarity’s sake
Explanations half-baked in our youth
Finally coming untrue!

We are waiting for indigo
For a courage that’s more than skin-deep
But it keeps us from living
And we’re falling apart in our sleep
And those ways are to useless
To keep
Just live the summer with me.

Just live the summer with me.
Just live the summer with me, mm…

Just live the summer with me.
We are never not lost in this dream
Yeah, we were merrily, madly, and callously cut from the stream

Shake your fists at the summer, and spit in the water,
And teeter and totter and know it gets hotter and just —
Just live the summer with me.
