You in that flannel and that jean skirt
Goddamn, you were a mean flirt
Shirt always sliding off your shoulders
Know I did my thing, I was going through the motions
But I guess there's couple things that I learned that night
"Oh you make music?" yeah, you heard that right
My only trick, played it through my phone speakers
That night I didn't see you had a Bonita
We were making out in the crowded little alley
And you held me by the hand
I said something stupid
Asked you to be exclusive for the summer
Don't blame me, I was drunk
I'm glad I ain't bring you home
I couldn't tell if it was something or just shots
After 4 dates, you told me you had boyfriend
And boy, then I had to pick my poison
And I picked, I mean I didn't know the guy
Invite you to my home and I
Laid you down, hoping I was stroking right
Eyes dilated now, taking you in
Not sure we ever finished that movie we played to begin
Remember getting spirited away and running home in hail
Trying not to kiss you in the lift but drunk on your exhale, we were
Walking down that brick road, hoping it would go forever
You retreated when the streetlights couldn't show direction
Drank the baijiu under stars then went back home and separated
Gave me the impression we were over and then you texted
Maybe if I only had you for that summer
Left the darkness down the brick road undiscovered
You were right
There was nothing for us in the night
When was the last time that we flirted
Half the time, we're burdens to each other
Vagabonds with curfews
Trapped inside a circle
Every single f*ckup's a judgment on if I really love you
Then you're pissed off, and it's pushing
'Til I start to wonder
Fighting outside a Starbucks
An old peddler lady offers a rose hoping to charm us
We tell her to f*ck off
You don't even look back at me as you call an Uber and make your departure
God forgive me if I'm fifteen minutes late to see you
You get angry, say "let's breakup" then make me appease you
Every time you're upset, it's split up cause you know I won't leave you
Run away to make me win you back so you can feel needed
I'm seething in that empty alley where you'd found me in the crowd and yelling
"You can't run from your problems"
While walking behind you, I guess
I always followed mine
It's just not the time when I can be all you want
It'll never be
Walking down the main road, knowing it'd be for the better
I retreated when the streetlights gave me more direction
Than you, I drank the vodka then we went back home and separated
Gave me the impression we were over then you texted
Maybe if I only had you for that summer
Left the darkness down the brick road undiscovered
You were right
There was nothing for us in the night
We always lived and died in the summer (In the summer)
Left it all behind, living life under covers (Under covers)
But the equinox always comes
We did all we could to recover
We always lived and died in the summer (In the summer)
Left it all behind, living life under covers
But the equinox always comes
At least we made it through two summers
