all summer in a day

so I'll be waiting on the line

with the hope I'll get

to meet you in another life

and it's only doubts that we're counting

on fingers broken long ago

i read with every broken heart we should become

no one stops me, nobody takes you from my hand

even when you break your leg drunk, running

someone ought to hold me to my words

what is it that's keeping one foot out

and the other crawling in bed?

and what is it that's keeping you alone

summer is falling, it's a distant dream

when there's something I want, I always get my way

and baby, I want

could you stand to drive

for just another mile?

you wanna see me happy

I was a kid 'til I fixed it

tore into a love affair

the dog days are getting smaller as you pull away

a phone line from the future calls to say

drowning in the sea of love

where everyone would love to drown

but now it's gone

it doesn't matter what for

when you build your house

and I long for your kiss, though I know

I'd be just one of all your affairs

I don't really care if it's four in the morning

call me up and tell me that you want me

hit me with that bad news first

hope you dream we're running together

I think I'm an unremarkable exit

written down in the margins of your afterthoughts

I think I'm what happens

It was the strangest of summer dreams

Those nights she spent haunting me

She touched me 'cross centuries

then you took my hands and you watered me

and you showed me what my body could be

and I dreamt
