Song lyrics

Left behind when summer's over
in quiet lineups by the lake
cheating hearts descend like clouds of falling leaves
to lie and rot and wait for rain.

Summer heat, will you drain your blood from me
into lawns and limpid pools
Where your kiss was young and cruel.
Cut by cut and play by play - it will always be this way
summer love.

If I could only hold your heart
and never beat again.

Someone's breath against your shoulder,
someone's voice to say your name.
Just as long as someone's there to break your fall
longer shadows, shorter days.

Summer heat, will you drain your blood from me
into lawns and limpid pools
Where your kiss was young and cruel.
Cut by cut and play by play – it will always be this way
summer love.

If i could only hold your heart,
I'd never beat again.
