lyrics

Oh summer, don't go!
I've been meaning to do so much more, but it slipped through my fingers.
Oh summer, I feel so low.
And using apostrophe is the only way I have to show how much you mean to me.
Oh summer, I am weak.
My knees are shaking at the thought of my future catastrophes.
Oh summer, I am beat.
How could you expect me to go on? I simply will not move my feet.

But autumn pushes you away.
And the wind and the leaves make me walk forward to the rhythm of my unsure heart, 'til it stops.
And what happened yesterday
is a sweet awkwardness that comes with adolescence.
And no matter what I say, I can't seem to shake -

Oh summer, reconsider.
Imagine how I'll be in winter with a coldness you could never possibly know.
Oh summer, was it I?
I'm sorry. I know it's your time, but maybe you could
persuade Mother Nature to linger on in my heart.

But autumn pushes you away.
And the wind and the leaves make me walk forward to the rhythm of my unsure heart, 'til it stops.
And what happened yesterday
is a sweet awkwardness that comes with adolescence.
And no matter what I say, I can't seem to shake -

And what happened yesterday
is a sweet awkwardness that comes with adolescence.
And no matter what I say, I can't seem to shake -

I can't seem to shake -
what you do to me.
