lyrics

In the summer I hear the lost get found
But when the sun is up
I want to burn this town
And this king of pain is going to lose his crown
There must be something wrong around here
Something bad that I should fear
I struggle just to juggle all the fuss
Like an employee: never free

I’m all alone in the summertime
There’s 50 faces
But there ain’t one girl of mine
I sweat at home
I’m like a lazy bone
Yeah, I know

Hate the cool jerk with the pretty girl
She’s so ravishing she’ll make a straight edge curl
Another two like that and I will surely hurl
There must be something wrong with me
Something wrong that I can’t see
I worry like a jury in a rush
About my pedigree: never free

In the summer when my thoughts go
Round and round, and down and up
It’s a bummer but my love is far
And where she’s gone I don’t know!
I’m drowning in humidity
It could be them, it should be me
I’m sweating like I’m getting a reward
But I’m just lonely
