lyrics

Summer’s sticky sickness
And one Jehovah’s Witness
Knocking at my sticky summer door
Just swishing beer
And wishing I weren’t still living here
With nowhere else I think I might like more

Guy in the alley
Screaming a finale
About some money that somebody owes
Well, I’ve been going a long time owing
A debt to someone I don’t even know

There wasn’t much to say the day I met you
Wasn’t much to do all summer long
But I could tell
From the moment it fell
Everywhere but beside you felt wrong

So hold a second
And tell me what you’ve reckoned
About the night that we spent on the floor
It’s gotten pretty quiet on the lonely-hearted diet
As I scavenge through the drive-thus evermore

Having slammed the cupboard
I hit the northern suburb
Where the cashiers at Home Depot know my name
I duplicate the house key
That you forgot to leave me
And every cashier last year felt the same

There wasn’t much to say the day I met you
Wasn’t much to do all summer long
But I could tell
From the moment it fell
Everywhere but beside you felt wrong

And after all the birthdays this fall
Everywhere but beside you will feel wrong
