Standing On The Edge Of Summer

Thursday

In this room

I'm sitting by your side

It rains for hours and the phone is off its hook

Standing on the edge

Casting lots to set me up

Before you knock me down

Off the Summer's edge and drown me



We're betting on our own lives

Making up for all the time we lost.



In this house of cards

We're all holding hearts and spades

(one breath. one step could knock it all down)

But you lead with your eyes and you give it away

(design to cut from the clouds)

When the people you love get lost in the shuffle

You let it go and then you fold



So we stay on the open road

We drive for hours and still no end in sight at all

Driving in your car

Miss the stop sign

Fall in love

Just to get knocked down



Pull your punches and burn with your cigarettes

Pulled like a punch and burnt like a cigarette

Forever
