When you rise And wonder What’s new, what’s new, what’s new? Tune in to me When you look Around the room And wonder what song to choose Take my hand, baby–I got you Tune in to me When you close your eyes As you daydream When you walk on by When you rest at night As you board that plane And its swift engines Take you far away I’m not far away (you know) Tune in to me

Hiding too much from the sun Can't deny the summer's come Your winter worries left hung with your long sleeves and button ups. Time to show um what you've got You know the season's not long at all. Gonna make out like you're just fine. Snow melts in warm sunshine. No longer anxious waking up on time. Put you in a crowd and watch you smile, dance, sing, Cause it's gonna be alright. Being a burden's not a summer thing! Yeah it's gonna be alright! (everyone wants you around now it's gonna be alright) The sadder you is left behind. The sadder you is left behind most summer nights. Catchin' the social heat wave. You're so funny, man. Your life's been saved! Lucky for you that manic dread Only exists inside your head. So don’t replay the things you said. It's easy I bet! Gonna make out like I'm just fine. Snow melts in warm sunshine. No longer anxious waking up on time. Put me in a crowd and watch me smile, dance, sing, Cause we're gonna be alright. Everyone wants me around now! It's gonna be alright! The sadder me is in my mind. The sadder me is in my mind only most summer nights. But I'm gonna be alright.

Driving all night on the parkway Put your head down As we take…the long way It was the perfect plan I should’ve known We had the perfect plan- I don’t know Cupid’s bow Don’t leave me hanging You know I’m alone Come and take it Heaven on fire Just like last night, Hold your hand up In the light to match mine It is the sweetest pain I have ever known You were the sweetest pain I have ever known Cupid’s bow Don’t leave me hanging You know I’m alone Come and take it

To see you again Fills my mind Desire Spans the time It's been too long Too long And I wonder Will I know When I see you again You again Distance Grows my heart Longing to be What we are Now it's not long Not long And I wonder Will you know When I see you again You again

Climb to the sun over clouds to rays Summer's on Put on your sunblock and step into the sun ‘cause now you know that summer's on I kept the news to myself for a while until I knew you'd always be my summer tune I'm swimming to the surface I'm going to break through to reach the sun I'm swimming to the surface I'm going to break through to reach the sun

I'm sexually attracted to you Bowie on your tee From 1973 Though I deduce that Low's what is choose I love to hear your point of view "Just look the way he changes and sways From Rock to disco to swing In the blink of an eye he's the Queen" I could listen and learn or each take a turn I'm happy to be where you are

How much should a man be held responsible For who he is? And how much can he blame his parents Trudy and Bill? When you were a kid You hitched a ride to the fortune teller Thought that it’d be fun to Get your fortune told But when she read your palm she said, “Oh shit Oh fuck” You’ve got bad bad luck my friend The baddest luck of any friend I’ve ever known You’ve got baaaaad luck Baaaaaad luck You’ve got bad bad bad bad luck I’ve never met a man Who can turn off a woman Faster than a man who clips his nails In the middle of a movie theater She takes a bite of popcorn Gets a mouthful of his toenails As he says, “This is my favorite part I really love when Dom Toretto drives his car” And you’re eating at a restaurant alone again You’re alone again And all the servers are wondering how you’re gonna finish The dish that was made for a party of four again You’re alone You’re so alone And you will always be lonely You will never find somebody

Swimming in the sunshine Playing in the rain, Counting down the hours Till I see your face again, Catching caterpillars, Chasing horny toads, Will we still be together somewhere Further down the road? Summer love so often fleeting, Summer love, so hard to tell, If I met you in the spring time, Would I love you half so well? Picnic in the mountains, Sandwiches and cheese, You’re so pretty when your hair is Blowing in the breeze, Campfire crackling, Fishing in the stream, Ever since I met you life’s been Nothing but a dream a dream Summer love can last forever, But sometimes it don’t last the night, If I met you in the autumn, Would it feel half so right? Backyard barbecuing, Ice cream on the beach, Sometimes you’re so close to me, Sometimes you’re out of reach, Staying up till sunrise, Staring at the stars, I’m so scared you’ll go away, I won’t know where you are Summer love can fill your soul up, Summer love can break your heart, If I met you in the winter of my life, Would it be tearing me apart? I’m glad I met you in the summer, I’m so glad you said hello, And if we travel on together, Who’s to say how far we’ll go? Who can say how far we’ll go?

It was a perfect day Layin in your bed with your baby Breathing, breathing the way that we do When there’s nothing to do Nothing we can do now But let light fill the room Watch it land on the shelf that he made with his hands just for you Watch it hold the things that you love, that make you you When there’s nothing you can do And I want to be closer to you Closer, nearer, my god I’m so hungry for love So i'm coming in closer And on summer days When you take baby to the water You see that he’s shining, he’s so alive And he’s swimming just like his father Now I don’t know if i’m seein a vision or what came before But it’s comin in sure And we know people die sometimes cuz they want to It's becoming clearer there are things even i won’t do When you made me say it out loud and made it true Now I’m coming in clearer, closer for you I wanna be closer, nearer My god i’m so hungry for love So i’m coming in Oh, I know the way It’s through your front gate Five steps up to the porch Then the code on your front door In mercy given Always open Always open Always open

Sweating Forgetting what its like to be so cold Armageddon came and went but now ya know It ain’t so bad Yeah yeah yeah I don’t know why You’re such a bummer man Its the summer man Sun’s setting Try letting all the petty bullshit go Treading water’s not so fun but now ya know It ain’t so bad
