Summer Nights

from Somewhere In Your Head by Weak Arms

lyrics

There's a TV in my attic always on, telling me to act my age
Channel 9, never static, always filing me with rage
But tonight I'm ecstatic there is someone in my cage
I'm uncouth and I'm erratic, you're peaceful like a sage
And so we kiss and it's emphatic and you say that, if you're like a book then I'm like a page

Well there's a house where we vacation and we go there every year
And it fills me with frustration so loud I can barely hear
All of your lamentations as my dad he drinks a beer
And as I contemplate vocations you draw me near
And it's a marvelous sensation until you, you look me in the eyes and you're filled with fear.

And I don't know just what I've done but I know what I've become
I feel like someone's left me here and I'm afraid my song's unsung
And I don't know what I will do but I'll stay right here beside you as long as you are here with me and that's the way that things will be.

And there's a book I never read yet I know it back to front
It's all right here in my head, poetic verses, meanings blunt
But I can't leave these words unsaid, this childish authors pathetic stunt
And so this fire that I've fed has grown too much and I don't think I can confront it

--

You're sick of all the ways your life could better suit yourself
You think you'll never change that you are stuck in your own hell
And you can't even see the light for all the clouds there in the sky
And you can't even see the trees because you don't sleep at night
And so you suture oppositions thinking only of yourself
And when you're done you cannot recognize these pieces of your shell
As you assemble your own novel anecdotes and meanings fall
They come from times not remembered places you cannot recall
And as the construct comes together showing you before the fall
There's a journal left unwritten there's a journey left here after all

And there'll be roadblocks there'll be hurdles there'll be prices that we pay
And though it might not be so pleasant there isn't any other way
To make it to a place we both agree will let us sleep tonight
So we can tuck our tails and run or simply keep it all inside
Until the time is right until we no longer have to hide
Until that we can belt it out and say that this is how we chose to live our life.
