Josh Pyke - The Summer lyrics

rate me

<br>If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house <br>And pour it loose through your garden <br>So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour <br>Like the boats pulled up on the sand for the summer <br>And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line <br>And there?d be sand in your pockets and nothing on your mind <br> <br>But every year it gets a little bit harder <br>To get back to the feeling of when we were fifteen <br>And we could jump in the river upstream <br>And let the current carry us to the beginning where <br>The river met the sea again <br>And all our days were a sun-drenched haze <br>While the salt spray crusted on the window panes <br> <br>We should be living like we lived that summer <br>I wanna live like we live in the summer <br> <br>And I?ll remember that summer as the right one <br>The storms made the pavement steam like a kettle <br>And our first goodbye always seemed like hours <br>In the car park in between my house and yours <br>And if the summer holds a song we might sing forever <br>Then the winter holds a bite we?d never felt before <br> <br>But time is like the ocean <br>You can only hold a little in your hands <br>So swim before we?re broken <br>Before our bones become <br>Black coral on the sand<br><!-- stopprint -->
