Postmortem / Summertime Reprise Lyrics

Light's dimmer

Heartbeat went fast, but the real soul died quicker

Won't see it, believe it till you feel that slight flicker with the right trigger

Stay chipper

That's life, killer

Yeah, I know

Night's different in the summertime

My love

Don't say shit about your busy routine now, my love

Tears came flooding eastbound on 80, my love

No calls, no answer from my love

Don't offer fake love if you've got it for me

I know all your ways around me, I know you say shit about me and now I've had enough

I can see the postmortem, babe

Gonna cut through my skin and they'll shine the lights in

And they'll see what you did

October

Phone call flew south real fast, shit got colder

So free, so mean, she speaks like the light's over

Feel a lot older, words bolder, she's a high roller

And felt a lot closer in the summertime

My love euthanized youth and I swear she knows it, my love

Cut the call short for a one-night love life, my love

Someone else to show you you'll never need me

Was it good?

Did he make you laugh?

Did he make you—

I'm all for fake love if you've got some for me

I know all your ways around me, I know you speak well about me and I ain't had enough

Inconclusive postmortem, babe

When I cut through my skin and I shine your light in

And I can't find a thing

What happened, my friend?

I wanna talk about our lives again

It's quite the gap you left behind

Would you think about it?

Would you be so kind?

My love, I adored you

Now I can't afford to

I could've bought a week or two

But will you call me up when you're home for the summer?

I'll try to keep my shit together

Would you drive on over if it could be how it was?

We're still young

Someday

Maybe years from now, maybe tomorrow

Maybe miles away, maybe here, maybe Chicago

I'll think of you and I'll feel alright

And replay summer nights

Warm air, a cool breeze, pink clouds and oak trees

And I was good with you regardless

If we made love, or laughed, or sat in silence

When sunset came, it felt like God

And you were everything to me

I'll be proud to have known you forever

You've just got your life to live, and who am I to hold you down?
