Hang dog you sitting and counting nameless stars

And when you look down you're beginning to fall away



You dried up like an august creekbed

I mounted in an album

With some photos of your summer friends

I can't tell what the note on the back said

You're moving like a poem

And it hurts to see you going



I recall the smell of summer on your skin

We were seventeen

And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop

It's hard to put to words what i was thinking then

I don't know, we were alive or something



Browned off sitting amidst the endless cars

And when you stall out

They're beginning to pull away



You dried up like an august creekbed

I mounted in an album

With some photos of your summer friends

I can't tell what the note on the back said

You're moving like a poem

And it hurts to see you going



I remember licking ice cream off your chin

We were seventeen

And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop

It's hard to put to words what i was thinking then

I don't know, we were in love or something



I recall the smell of summer on your skin

We were seventeen

And everything was pounding and it wouldn't stop

It's hard to put to words what i was thinking then

I don't know, we were alive or something
