Smell of Summer Are your eyes closed? I envy you Can you turn off your empathy like a light switch? You fling your words like they're just air Stone-heavy, they weigh me down Why am I always left here Sinking and picking up the pieces I keep waiting to wake up I keep waiting to fall asleep But do you think the smell of summer can soak through The nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you've made a lot of promises to me But anyways The clouds can't disappear Without you here When'd I become an option and not what you needed Breathless and scared, I call you But the days just fall down around me My calendar claims it's spring But it hasn't convinced me The last of your faith sailed away With the last of my patience You leave me trembling sometimes Your, your aftermath But do you think the smell of summer can soak through The nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you've made a lot of promises to me Promises to me But do you think the smell of summer can soak through The nightmare we've been living since you And in case you forget An addiction is a promise And you made a lot of promises to me All lyrics and music © Just Plain Sarah 2004
