Serendipity

So long ago, on a summer day
I put my best shirt on
I took you to the matinee
With money from mowing lawns
Money from mowing lawns
You worked down at the dairy queen
We hit it off from the start
Now there's a blizzard in between
Frost inside a heart
If i had a good reason, i would share
It with you
Then the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
But summers don't last that long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
Gone without a good reason for me to share
With you
When the coldest season came
Making room for something new
Good for you
Good for me
Call it serendipity
If i could only hit my stride
I'll make it to the other side
I don't wanna be roadkill
When there's half a cup to fill
To fill
Good for you (call it serendipity)
Good for me (serendipity)
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Call it serendipity
Walking on coals, just trying to get through
Now summers don't last so long
All that is left here is the truth
Everything else is gone
