Another lonely summer night (song)

this is a song about summer, the time when stillness happens and you are left with your life, and the memories of it. a process of pondering, of recovering, and of settling in.

verse

trying on many suits

can't fit under just one roof

travel till my legs are sore

then right back at your kitchen door

over twigs and sticks and grass

on that street I'll have to pass

chorus

the fridge it beeps in dim light

my heart it beats just out of sight

another lonely summer night

that feeling of a bird in flight

verse

breath in that warm air

miss a person who isn't there

gone into thin air

yes she's gone despite your prayer

hearts just sick because you care

a fruitless search for what was there

chorus

The fridge it beeps in dim light

my heart it beats just out of sight

the feeling of a bird in flight 

please don't give up your fight

verse

talk to you then talk to her, talk to him then round once more

can't keep track of where and when, of who and how there's more than ten

you tie your converse on the floor, hoping I'll be back for more

pre chorus 

on the grass we ran and played, now on the fence I'll sit and stay

chorus

the fridge it beeps in dim light

my heart it beats just out of sight

another lonely summer night

that feeling of a bird in flight
