The Summer

Citizen

I watched you burn and I felt it.
You′re spitting words like you're someone else.
And I watched you run,I was screaming and following you down.
It seems I′m stuck in the promise you made,
I'm counting out.

I don't want to know
I don′t want to know
If I could catch you once,
I′d see you right through.

You said you'd stay, and you promised.
I finally see you out.
Why′d you wait for the summer to chew and spit me out?
I sit awake and wait impatiently.
The same mistakes are waiting to be made.

I felt something that is in me change when I followed you down.

I don't want to know
I don′t want to know
Wish I could write you off,
I see you right through.
I don't want to know
I don′t want to know
How you could just set me off.
I see you right through.
