Summer Skin

Sun bleached white, like a shooting star,
We cut a fresh clean line in your brother’s car
Going on and on…
Heat beat down in a summer snow
And there’s nothing in our hearts that our mothers know
Going on and on…
And it’s fine
I’m never coming down this time
The bodies won’t move so we’re sneaking aside
And the stomping in our gut’s the only keeping of time
And we go on and on…
I’m counting on my digits all the devilish nerves
Til I hear the crack in mine and feel the curl of yours
And we go on and on…
And it’s time
Cuz heaven’s on the other side
We cut a left, right, left, right, left, right, standing still
Flirt a fresh cool taste in the chase of a summer’s kill
The sun is high and the sky’s caving in tonight, but I don’t mind
Got a head start racing all the ghost kids down the hill
Get quick, kid - go as fast as you can
They’re only pulling punches for your summer skin
So go on and on…
We recognize the body in the failure of words
Well, I never liked mine, so can I use yours?
And go on and on…
And it’s time
Cuz heaven’s on the other side
We cut a left, right, left, right, left, right, standing still
Flirt a fresh cool taste in the chase of a summer’s kill
The sun is high and the sky’s caving in tonight, but I don’t mind
Got a head start racing all the ghost kids down the hill
Well I cut my lip on the summer’s teeth
And everything she’s buzzing’s like she’s singing to me
It goes on and on…
I wave my rights to a delicate touch
I’m never coming down til they drag me up
I’ll go on and on…
And it’s time, cuz heaven’s on the other side
Yeah it’s fine, I never remember my line
And it’s too high to call it right
We cut a left, right, left, right, left, right, standing still
Flirt a fresh cool taste in the chase of a summer’s kill
The sun is high and the sky’s caving in tonight, but I don’t mind
Got a head start racing all the ghost kids down the hill

Runaway

I don’t wanna seem so boring.
I don’t wanna waste your time.
I don’t wanna keep your story,
Acting like a little child.
Honestly, I’m worth ignoring -
Never gonna lay. Besides,
I would rather go exploring.
Ah-ah-ah-ah
I don’t wanna break your habit;
I would never be so bold.
I don’t wanna seem dramatic,
Just making your sad eyes roll.
Oh, tell me what I’m still lacking;
Tell me just what you know;
Tell me that I’m far too savage.
Ah-ah-ah-ah - HEY! But…
Wait – WAIT! [X3]
I don’t wanna be so boring.
I don’t wanna waste my time.
I would rather be exploring.
I’m aching to be racing, blind.
Oh, take me from the foreseen story.
Break me away from lyin’.
Faking it will make you boring.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I ain’t gonna ask no questions.
I ain’t gonna play as told.
I’m gonna run in all directions,
Shaking the dust off my bones.
Been living under an affection;
Been safer with the weight I’ve known
Can't settle in when I'm electric.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I wa-wa-won’t be phased
I got no lick of time
My la-la-leap of faith
Is all I leave behind
Oh, Runaway, away
I won’t be left behi-oh-hi-oh-hi-oh
Ah-ah-ah!
Tell me that I’m misbehaving.
Tell me that I’m just a child,
Wasting my time with chasing
Something I’ll never find.
Honestly, my heart is racing -
Aching with a faith that’s wild -
More than you could ever make it.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I don't want to make no habits
I don't want to rest my bones
Under white banners, stagnant
In the still winds of what's known.
Oh strip me from my common practice
Horizon, oh, call me home.
I'll settle when it's more attractive.
Ah-ah-ah-ah!
I wa-wa-won’t be phased
I got no lick of time
My la-la-leap of faith
Is all I leave behind
Oh run away, away
I won’t be left behi-oh-hi-oh-hi-oh
Ah-ah-ah!
Wait – WAIT! [X3]
I wa-wa-won’t be phased
I got no lick of time
My la-la-leap of faith
Is all I leave behind
Oh run away, away
I won’t be left behi-oh-hi-oh-hi-oh
Ah-ah-ah!

Old Country
03:34

I got my head but I'm living in a tough rut
I have a dreamin but it's never quite enough
I made a state and my fate is only rust shut
It leaves me wishing for another sort of living
In the Old Country
We could be happy, in the Old Country
I got a heart but it's having such a hard time
It's got a chain with a weight and oh she's all mine
And in this state there's no way to play a fault line
You got me wishing for another sort of living
In the Old Country
We could be lovers, in the Old Country
And all mistakes are all my friends
It's all my fate this state I'm in
There's no escape from what I've come to be
But, oh, to I think of where I was
When I was me and I was young
And all the world only mine to seek
I got a skin but it's feelin like a ghost hold
There was a season it chameleon'd with the local
Now it's the armor that I'm wearing in the sinkhole
It leads to reason that I was only dreaming
Of the Old Country
I was a savage, in the Old Country
And all mistakes are all my friends
It's all my fate this state I'm in
There's no escape from what I've come to be
But, oh, to I think of where I was
When I was me and I was young
And all the world only mine to seek
In the Old Country
And all mistakes are all my friends
It's all my fate this state I'm in
There's no escape from what I've come to be
But, oh, to I think of where I was
When I was me and I was young
And all the world only mine to seek
