viii Saintaugustine from Melodrama2009 / Saintaugustine by central standard time

I used to say my summers were too long
Take me back to Autumn, but take sunshine along
my days were far too short and my nights were full of laughter and tears

You used to call me on your telephone
but now I spend my summer nights alone
your days were far too busy and my days were full of waiting up for you

i wanted one day a week
where we could talk and feel complete
is it monday? can it be wednesday?
are you working on friday? will you be home on sunday
someday you say

you said you still wanted to reconnect
forget the past, last summer never happened to us, forgive and forget
our days were strange and ugly, but in comparison my days seem so dull

i love you but your heart leads you astray
i live to love the person you've became, that's all you say
our days have become stagnant, now that the heat wave slowed us down

i wanted one hour a day
where i could look at you and say
this summer? hasn't been too bad
ive been a mess though, i will admit that
someday, ill be back

its august thirty first and i want more
summer in my life, like years before
when id dance in a fenced in front yard
and smile at neighbors through the cracks
but they're not coming back

its almost hot enough for me to feel
like the way my body moves through space is real
by the time the temperature drops below 60 ill forget it again
way back when
remember then
long lost friends
