July by Stickee

[Verse 1]
I could hear it from their mouths
And I've read in the sand
Nervous laughter in the air
People walking hand-in-hand

Everyone's affected
Seems to me I'm the only one immune
I can barely make you out
And I can tell you've found your June

[Chorus 1]
Oh, July, I can see it in your eyes
You no longer need surprise
You found it, sunshine

There we were on the dirt
Buried in my world of hurt
Just an ancient excerpt

[Verse 2]
And to think I've seen it all
I watched you break my lucid ball
I think I cried, I can't recall
I'm heading down to the dance hall

I was never welcomed here
Every time, you were always near
But times have changed and the word is out
I'd rather grapple up my mouth

[Chorus 2]
Don't you know?
I'm one miserable meadow
It's a miracle to grow
With this poisoned embryo

Give it time; I'll be replaced
Another reason to retrace
One more tortured embrace
