The Soundtrack to My Summer

The night was perfect shade of dark blue
dark blue, have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
as she lay under the stars
will cry the blackest tears tonight
thinking of nothing and everything at the same time
is running out
She watched
the sky and burned to bridge the great divide
the restless water, and regretted spending so much time on the shore
where I can lay my head down inside these arms of yours
Once again, she had forgotten her swimsuit, but
you don’t know that’s nothing like me
no one else was on the beach, so she
finally set him free
lifted her t-shirt over her head, and loosened her belt, allowing her pants to fall
asleep, you try so hard to find a rhythym in your heartbeat
to her ankles. Her last move before sprinting into the waves was to remove her earbuds and turn her music off.
