lyrics

We move slow to summers heavy burning heat
She covers me and smothers me in grey
And I am young but I will grow and I will move my concrete feet
I miss you even in the warmer nights

You took me by the hand and said,
Breathe in do you feel it there
This is where you go to clear your mind
You took me by the hand and said
Breathe out do you feel it leave
This is where you go – to get by

I left summer and her heavy burning heat
Marked south facing a sharp distant – electric city
And I am young, but not for long, I will rid my concrete feet
Think of you most nights – before I go to sleep

You took me by the hand and said,
Breathe in do you feel it there
This is where you go to clear your mind
You took me by the hand and said
Breathe out do you feel it leave
This is where you go – to get by
This is where you go – to get by

The bedroom in my old home is covered in memories
Of where I first let love in – and I first felt love leave
The bedroom in my old home is colored in memories
Of where I first let love in – and I first felt love leave

Well I turned 18 that December I remember it the best
When we laid down in a moonlit room and now everything’s a mess
Yeah I turned 18 that December I remember you the best
When we laid down in the moonlit room and now everything’s a mess
Now everything’s a mess
Now everything’s a mess
I remember you the best
