You don’t know the first half of it Cause there’s nothing here to fix And I’ve seen the end of this And it turns out fine It turns out fine
I think it means something when it’s over And every time it happens, I’m sad Worse every year, and on the last day We all know it’s here We can feel it on the sides of our tongues This bittersweetness But I still want to roll the windows down Turn the music up And drive all night just to hold your hand Quickly, while everything still looks golden I want it to stay this way in my memories So next summer we can start with stories Do you want to chase the wind Or do you wanna chase the wind? Or do you wanna chase the wind with me?
Hold on and try not to miss Any magic in the summer bliss And I’ve seen the end of this And it turns out fine It turns out fine
How many summer nights have I forgotten? And what does it mean to be in Fall again? Why is one sort of weather so accommodating to joy And why does it feel so important not to waste If we go to the beach we can start a bonfire And maybe it’ll stave off the end And if it does I’ll tell the rest of the world that we found a trick A loophole in the knot of our lives Where the colors stay bright and the nights stay warm Where it’s all happening and we haven’t missed anything It’s out there if you’ll go Or it’s out there if you’ll go Or it’s out there if you’ll go with me
So, hold on and try not to miss Cause there’s nothing here to fix And the sunset is part of it So, it’ll be alright It’ll be alright
There's an accompanying photo on my website: anthempoet.com that I really like. But I think it gets the message across without it.
