lyrics

Closing my eyes as the summer ends
I haven't felt you in a while
Caught in a phase with bitter mistakes
Taking my time to unwind
Tonight I want to be with the summer kids
If I only knew where they hide
Come take a seat, be reckless with me
You look up for a ride
Take a breath, now easy does it
I don't really want to do this anymore

Just take me away
What are you waiting for?
I'll take you away
But what are you running from?
You used to be so familiar
Look at me
Look at me now

Coming to terms, got no common sense
Letting the time pass on by
Running in place now I'm matching your pace
There's nowhere left we can hide
Tonight I want to be in your summer skin
Watch as our bones ignite
Falling from grace and I'm craving the taste
This is how souls collide

Slow your roll she said
Take a breath
now easy does it
I don't really want to do this anymore

Just take me away
What are you waiting for?
I'll take you away
But what are you running from?
You used to be so familiar
Look at me
Look at me now

Mind the road
We can't pull over
Your heart is a ghost
when your head's on my shoulder
We both know that we can't start over
So where do we go?
Where do we go?
