Somber Summer

about

This track was originally recorded during the days of Lonea EP but was never fully realized. It is sad now.

lyrics

I can't even know where you are, no
'Cause I'm nothing but a lonely star, no
Every summer haze you pass and we look, yeah
Orange lazy sky, it's one for the books, yeah

And I try
I try
To be with you

We'll retreat to your soft house and do what you want
And tell the tales of books you've read and I've not
Nothing ever seems to escape this trust
But still I feel like you just see through us

And I am
I am
The lost color of a flame with no flick
The orange heart of you is to what I stick
The dark landscape where we found our place
It takes one somber summer for hearts to race

Lo-fi vinyl cracked voice
Gramophone conversations 'til morn
A rolled up tape of all our days
And a dark deep orange summer haze

And I am
I am

The lost color of a flame with no flick
The orange heart of you is to what I stick
The dark landscape where we found our place
It takes one somber summer for hearts to race

(-Why do you do this to me? What have I done to you? Tell me, what-what do you want me to do!
-I don't know. Maybe touch my hair or something?
-I can't do that...why me?
-Because everyone else is boring, and you're different...you don't like me Stephanie.)
