Story behind the song
This song started off as a ballad, and then it just kept changing and changing until it became what it is today. It's currently the most requested song by my adoring fans.
Lyrics
I spent the summer with cracked lips In the sun that browned my skin We laughed until our jaws hurt And we loved til our bodies gave in You made me scream down by the water Our sweat and passion mixed And we jumped into the ocean That point in time transfixed And my mouth cracked under the sun Between your lips around your tongue I tasted blood in my mouth But I didn’t care I just wanted to keep you here I spent the fall with lonely arms Layin’ between pillows in bed And work kept you awake at night And so thin yourself you spread We met in our dreams so far apart We tried so hard to win But our bodies we could not outsmart And so it had to end And my arms fell down to my sides When would fate let us collide? I tasted salt in my mouth So far away I just wanted to keep you here So we wasted the cold weather Until we could meet again And we celebrated our reunion and cried Over how long it’d been And my mouth cracked from your kisses And your presence filled me up My arms rested around your waist But then our time was up And I drove you to the airplane that would take you away again I tasted salt in my mouth Alone again I just wanted to keep you here
