[Verse 1]
Hot water
Hot summer dreams
Hot temperatures
I see it on strangers
Any day now, my phone will ring
I'll be on an airplane
With my socks in my carry-on
[Verse 2]
I'm mad at the weather
It's wrong for the time of year

Burns like a fire
[Verse 3]
I miss San Francisco
My friend is in college there
She doesn't come back much

She isn't a liar
Time is a fire
Time forgets no one
[Outro]
Time, time forgets no one
Time forgets, time
Time forgets no one
Time forgets, time forgets
Time forgets
Time forgets no one
Time forgets no one
Time forgets no one
Time forgets, time
Time forgets no one
