Summer's Over

A Boy With Roses

There is no tomorrow                                                                                                            

Under the darknight sky                                                                                                          

I feel the gentle rain, careful                                                                                        

Not to step out of place

 

I am falling into streetlights                                                                                          

Gazing at a hazy skyline

 

I feel gratitude in a reckless storm                                                                                    

Love in the joy of being reborn                                                                                            

In warm rooms filled with light and dance                                                                    

Beaches slipping through the cracks in my hands                                                          

Left behind in the dust of summer, but now it's over                                                              

I've spent too many years thinking I'd never make it                                                            

In the age of narcissism and weeping garlands                                                            

I'm trying, but I'm mulling over it

 

I can never quite make up my mind, full of song                                                                

I'm forever longing for the past, when I thought wrong                                                    

All the risks and fruitful lyrics, the days which never paid off                                                    

I know I should think of the good times                                                                        

But you left me in the dark and never ask how I'm feeling                                                    

I wish I was closer to you, I wish I knew your inner thoughts                                          

What you think before you go to sleep                                                                          

Before you fade into time forgotten, I haven't moved in weeks                                  

Wishful thinking pulverised into nothing

 

Being young is all I know what to do                                                                                            

But I can't find it in me to kiss goodbye to my mistakes                                          

There's a man in my mind like a painting                                                        

Guiding me towards a serene state of mind                                                            

And I'm sure I love him, I'm sure I love him                                                                              

Like a sweet poem, like a love song

 

I'm sure of it, burnt out with the seasons                                                                      

I just want to feel something like I did                                                                                

In the good old days, never wanted anything more                                                  

Until I lost my dreams in a sea of white horses 

 

I just want to feel something like I did                                                                                  

I just want to feel something like I did.

    So beautiful ❤

    Reminds me of these lyrics:

    'You own me
    There's nothing you can do

    You clean yourself to meet
    The man who isn't me
    You're putting on a shirt
    A shirt I'll never see
    The letter's in your coat
    But no one's in your head
    'Cause you're too smart to remember
    You're too smart

    Lucky you'

      Just seen this comment, Rebmasters. Hmmm, the National? Such a very poignant and emotional song from a masculine point-of-view. It reminds me a lot of Frightened Rabbit (one of my favourite bands; although the lead singer, Scott Hutchison, sadly committed suicide). It's soooo sadly nostalgic. Such a beautiful song! Thanks for your comment and I hope you're doing well on your end.

          these kind of songs make me cry 🙁

          • rebmasters

            I looooooove Frightened Rabbit!

            "You won't find love in a hole."

            But you can try looking anyway haha xxxx

            I love 'Lucky You' - it is sad but also so beautiful:

            'Wherever you will ever be
            You're never getting rid of me'
