Every Summer Lyrics

Well it's been breaking, decaying, and washing away

A statue made of salt gets defaced by rain

It doesn't take much at all these days

Before I sink into myself and I just cannot escape

Every summer for the last five years I've been making up excuses

Just to get back home, just to get more sleep

Now any evening worth at least five beers shares the same resolution

I'm better alone and I continue retreat

This place is just a ghost town, but the views they aren't as vast

The buildings are much bigger and the tumbleweeds are trash

Any signs that seem like life can surely be ignored

When the overwhelming presence is all that you can afford

Every summer for the last five years I've been making up excuses

Just to get back home just to get more sleep

Now any evening worth at least five beers shares the same resolution

I'm better alone and I continue retreat

Bounded by my environment protector, namely chain-link trash collectors

Spending all my time by dreaming up my escape

All while getting older, could I hold it off by staying awake

I'm always tired at the wrong times

And it's so clear that

Every summer for the last five years I've been making up excuses

Just to get back home just to get more sleep

Now any evening worth at least five beers shares the same resolution

I'm better alone and I continue retreat

Every moment for the last five years I've been longing for another

But it's always the same
