Summer Madness

I don’t know how but I lost count
Days in the heather and nights in the gloam
Lacunas of ‘I don’t remember’
Haloed in silver, haloed in gold
I filled my pockets up with promises
Of the weight of the world
Still I would leave this town on my own two feet
If I only knew which way was out

We are a conquest of bellies
And we are the steam rolling off
And we are the light changed forever
We are cicada skins in the lawn
We are the freezer door hanging open
We are the misty kitchen cloud
We would leave this town on our own two feet
If we only knew which way was out

I’ve only stayed for this
I’ve only stayed for this
This summer madness is alive, I’m alive
I’ve only stayed for this
I’ve only stayed for this
This summer madness is alive, I’m alive

Somewhere between my house and here I saw the truth
Oh, somewhere between my house and here I saw the truth
Ah, you won’t believe me, you won’t believe me, ah
You never do

I’ve only stayed for this
I’ve only stayed for this
This summer madness is alive, I’m alive
I’ve only stayed for this
I’ve only stayed for this
This summer madness is alive, I’m alive
Alive, I’m alive
I’m alive
