It's hard for me to comprehend

Holding on with broken hands

But who will understand

Wallow in the acid rain

What's in store for us today

It's never gonna feel the same

I'm waiting for an angel now

To carry me above the clouds



Cause it's a long way home for the summer

And it's a long way up without a ladder

It's a long way home

And it's a long way down



Swallowing the bitter taste

Trying to find a remedy

Before the crystal breaks

Looking at a picture show

Frame by frame you see us grow

To something you don't know

You're trying to find a reason now

Behind a face, you see a child



It's a long way home for the summer

And it's a long way up without a ladder

And it's a long way home

And it's a long way down



Life's a picture show

Frame by frame we grow
