Summers Lost

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
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 those times we ever crossed, it was
Just to keep you here

To try to be
Something you were not
Like I have for you, and promised too
I know we'll get through this, I 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 near
And all those times we ever crossed, it was
Just to keep you here
Just to feel the weight of summer's loss
I'd love to have you here
And all those time we ever crossed it was
Just to keep you here...!

Nights without end seem to bleed into days
Hard to forget that it turned out this way
I wear the mark of the permanent stain
Not accidentally I curse God's good name!

I am still mortified, yet believe in a way
When my days are done we'll be in the same plane
Where winter's mean brimstone, I sail for Euphrates
All I can say is it's a goddamn shame!

That we feel the pain of summer's loss
I'd love to have new years
And all those times I missed my loss, it was
Just to keep you
Just to keep you
Just to keep you here
With me!
Yeah...
