Last Worst Summer

Southern summer I can't breathe
Mosquito drenched humidity
Days are longer than it takes to heal
Gettin hard to tell what's real

Thought that I woke up
When you went and kissed me
But it was never beauty
Oh I was never sleeping

Your love was all smoke & mirrors
Things never got clear
You took a shot
I took a beer
And we all walked down to the pier
Watched the stars and sang our fears
Oh no things never got clear
In that love
Oh no no no

Oh we only grew older
'Til we gave up

You said meet me at our place
Got out of hand, it was late
Pass me the smoked tobacco
Hold my hand
Don't you dare let go

My mother raised me to be smarter
Think my boat's fillin' up with water
Today I am my father's daughter
Ohhh—

Your love was all smoke & mirrors
Things never got clear
You took a shot
I took a beer
And we all walked down to the pier
Watched the stars and sang our fears
Oh no things never got clear
In that love
Oh no no no

Oh we only grew older
'Til we gave up

The moon has heard all that we've said—
She silhouettes our frizzy heads—
Stumblin' up from the lake bed—
This love's already half-forgotten
New day's up on the horizon
Wish we did this more often
Pretend it's more than friends
Pretend there's time to spend
Floatin' on lake Brooklyn

So take a shot
Take a beer
Things have always been this clear
Shoot down the stars
Shoot down my tears
Confirmed my deepest fears
Oh things were always so damn clear
In that love—
Oh cause while you were growin' older
And I was growin' up

You grew older
I grew up
You grew older
I grew up
