Summer, in the city

just get outta there
oh what you know about love?
the tv didn’t teach you shit
it hit you like a fucking brick
you spent most of your life in your own damn shit
oh what you know about running away
you tried when you were little, but your feet gave away
and your foot got stuck on the window sill,
your head missed the bricks when you fell out it
the city’s not the same without you, love
we made out on the terrace of your old house
the summer in vancouver was the best in my life
wished i’d went again, with you by my side
tell me what to do,
how to live like you
there were ads on the tv
and i didn’t need me
i was talking to teachers
ate lunch on the bleachers
ms. hall showed me photo
when my dad had died
i read about some old gods
jackson and potter
and oh, what you know about motions?
caused a commotion
in the library
and oh, what you know about lifeless?
written in a crisis
i was finding myself
spent most of my life online
delete chat logs so my mom won’t find
spent most of my time with her
and i’m sorry for the things i’ve done
the city’s not the same without you, love
we made out on the terrace of your old house
the summer in vancouver was the best in my life
wished i’d went again, with you by my side
the city’s not the same without you, love
we made out on the terrace of your old house
the summer in vancouver was the best in my life
wished i’d went again, with you by my side
just get outta there
woke up one morning, it was 2012
and i checked under the bed
for the box that i’d left
the box that i’d filled
with pictures i took last summer
summer camp
summer break
sun washed
sun soaked memories
in the back of my mind
skipping class
ran in the grass
i needed to find
our shed that had burned down,
our shed that had burned down
my birds in the rain
they sing like the wind
the city’s not the same without you, love
we made out on the terrace of your old house
the summer in vancouver was the best in my life
wished i’d went again, with you by my side
the city’s not the same without you, love
we made out on the terrace of your old house
the summer in vancouver was the best in my life
wished i’d went again, with you by my side
summer in the city i was hoping
you would want me by now,
by now
summer in the suburbs i was hoping
you’d come over by now
by now
i thought you
left me here to rot
but it’s okay
i’ve got my diamond in the rough
i thought you
left me here alone
but it’s all good
i’m used to ending up alone
the city’s not the same without you, love
we made out on the terrace of your old house
the summer in vancouver was the best in my life
wished i’d went again, with you by my side
the city’s not the same without you, love
we made out on the terrace of your old house
the summer in vancouver was the best in my life
wished i’d went again, with you by my side

where the wild things went
i’m so summer bent
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
mice on venus
the sun is rising
i’m growing up,
i’m growing old
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
my friends are all falling in love
cold winter and i’m only getting colder
where’d the summer go ? where’d the summer go ?
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
my friends are all falling in love
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
my friends are all falling in love
cold winter and it’s only getting colder
where’d the summer go ? where’d the summer go ?
past year been headline
the wind came blowing
i left the city for good
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
i spent my summers over there
the tunnel in the mountain
days are only getting colder but i ain't getting snow
not getting any warmer with nobody to hold
and my mind’s getting complicated,
anxious cause i had something you confiscated
and now i’m alone
nahhhh, i’m not cheesy like that
i just get a lil emo when it's time to write facts
solution to your problem but i’m done with the maths
put me in the equation im getting irrational
my friends are all falling in love
and the love that I got doesnt feel like enough
my best friends went for a weekend to a beach and
didn’t fuckin tell me even
now i don’t feel right for a reason
now i don’t got light no beacon
lass heart in my hands turn to sands, start seeping
where’d summer go ? need a bushfire season
sailing on the open water
standing still like her daddy taught her
fuck, been a couple months
since we left bc,
you could've texted me
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
my friends are all falling in love
camp jupiter, i’m only growing stupider
my friends are all falling in love
cold winter and it’s only getting colder
where’d the summer go ? where’d the summer go ?

forever summer bound, to you
i’ll always be around
forever summer friend,
i’ll love you til’ the seasons end
all of the seasons remind me of you
all of the colours they throw me away
all of the trees in the spring remind me of summer,
of fall and december, and i
i’ve been running out of sunlight
i’ve been running out breath
i’ve been running out your rear view
i’ve been running out of frame
it’s so sad to see you change
everything you said you wouldnt change
string theory in the dark
fantasia fell apart
wearing goggles in the midnight
i see you in the daylight
is it safe to say : “i’m sorry babe”
i’ll see you in a year
all of the seasons remind me of you
all of the colours they throw me away
all of the trees in the spring remind me of summer,
of fall and december, and i
i’ve been running out of sunlight
i’ve been running out breath
i’ve been running out your rear view
i’ve been running out of frame
it’s so sad to see you change
everything you said you wouldnt change
string theory in the dark
fantasia fell apart
wearing goggles in the midnight
i see you in the daylight
is it safe to say : “i’m sorry babe”
i’ll see you in a year
camp jupiter, i’m only growing older
my friends are all moving away
cold winter and it’s never getting warmer
the longest summer of our lives
all of the seasons remind me of you
all of the colours they throw me away
all of the trees in the spring remind me of summer,
of fall and december, and i
i’ve been running out of sunlight
i’ve been running out breath
i’ve been running out your rear view
i’ve been running out of frame
it’s so sad to see you change
everything you said you wouldnt change
string theory in the dark
fantasia fell apart
wearing goggles in the midnight
i see you in the daylight
is it safe to say : “i’m sorry babe”
i’ll see you in a year a-
she's from ohio and she hates the rain
i’m from the suburbs and i love the rain
she took her things and went home today

last summer i broke my wings
flying out the window of my best friend’s house
i’d worked on that song for so long,
never thought i’d sing for anyone
last summer i broke those wings
flying in field of my old high school
the cherry, red bi-plane landed, so harshly
on my knees, oh god
i hate that we still share a few friends
i hate that i loved you back then
i hate that i can’t seem to move on
i hate i’ll never see you again
and you were standing there at the new years party
you looked at me softly,
couldn’t help but say hello
my daddy taught me well
and you said you had to go
oh well, oh well, oh well
and you're standing there watching me fall down
it’s just the b-theory of time, i’ve seen it all happen before
and all the averi flowers were way too much for you
it’s just that i wanted to stay, but you kicked me out so fast
as the sun set set behind you i left the city for good
i’m a kleptomaniac, i’m a kleptomaniac, i’m a fucking kleptomaniac
milksop, and i’ve been my whole life
last summer you broke your wings
your were flying in a storm by your ex’s church
the rain on your skin,
never thought you’d be one to cry, oh god
ghosts of your past they come to
hant you, they haunt you
darling don’t run from the
please don’t run from
as the sun set set behind you i left the city for good
i’m a kleptomaniac
and you're standing there watching me fall down
it’s just the b-theory of time, i’ve seen it all happen before
and all the averi flowers were way too much for you
it’s just that i wanted to stay, but you kicked me out so fast
and all the averi flowers were way too much for you
it’s just that i wanted to stay, but you kicked me out so fast
and you're standing there watching me fall down
it’s just the b-theory of time, i’ve seen it all happen before
and all the averi flowers were way too much for you
it’s just that i wanted to stay, but you kicked me out so fast

lay your weapons down
we’ve been fighting for so long
i’ve been waiting for an out
i’m told that time will heal
all my wounds
what i’ve been hurting for
so sign this fucking contract
and lay your weapons down
i thought we were friends
quit talking to me like idk what the fuck is up
quit talking to me, nothing more
i’m so sick of the apologies
crying in my sleep
sick of writing songs about you
i’m so sick and tired of moving on
i’m keeping you at arm’s length
we’ll never be close again
but i’m ready to end this fucking war
i spent the last few weeks in a far away world
where magic works,
a tunnel in the mountains
i woke to your crying
i know what i’m doing here
the back seat of your car was easy to forget when you weren’t near
and love is a feeling that helps things make more sense
so no use living anywhere but the present tense
and love is a feeling that helps things make more sense

Sunburns, in suburbia

as the campfire died last night
we walked in the dark
past the counsellors
we snuck in the caves
and we drew our names on the wall
my headlamp batteries died
and we had to wait until dawn to see
if we made any mistakes
and we almost missed the bus
and all those sleepless nights when we were out of touch
and i fell in love with a ghost,
and all those thankful nights when we were in bc
in your mom’s rv, i felt whole again
dreams of italy, far from the city
and i know, it’s hard to see me change but i swear i’m trying
i broke my round glasses,
i punched them, threw them at the wall
now i need new ones cause
i don’t like the ones i own
these square ones just don’t match my personality
so i need new glasses now
cause these ones just aren’t me
it feels like i’m always ending things
you and i will always be back then
it feels like i’m always ending things
we happened, will happen again
it feels like i’m always ending things
you and i will always be back then
it feels like it’s always ending
we happened, we’ll happen again
and all those sleepless nights when we were out of touch
and i fell in love with a ghost,
and all those thankful nights when we were in bc
in your mom’s rv, i felt whole again
dreams of italy, far from the city
and i know, it’s hard to see me change but i swear i’m trying
it feels like i’m always ending things
you and i will always be back then
it feels like i’m always ending things
we happened, will happen again
it feels like i’m always ending things
you and i will always be back then
it feels like it’s always ending
we’ll happen, we happened, we happened
time an illusion that helps things make sense
so we are always living in the present tense
it seems unforgiving when a good thing ends
but you and i will always will be back then
oh you and i will always be back then
