Summer in St. Claire

i've been waiting here for you for so long

and it's been several weeks since i last saw you

there if you had only come around again

then i might have said to you what i've been thinking of she's

more than beautiful at night when all of her stars are out

and still sometimes when it's warm and quiet

i'll get thinking about summer in st. claire

these days are getting shorter as october falls

and with it come the coldest memories

i own and like the leaves that fall from trees

my dreams come slow as if to say to me that

i should let it go she's more than beautiful at night

when all of her stars are out

and still sometimes i wonder why she was crying her eyes out

i guess i'll never know lying in bed wishing

i was someone else instead

i've got to figure this one out just between you and me and god

everybody needs some time to heal

everybody needs like

everybody bleeds can't we sit and talk about all that we've loved

and lost and what it's cost and i'll put on a show for you

pretending not to hurt like nothings ever wrong and

you'll see right through me and i'll be here for you and

you'll be there for me and

i'll feign strong and

you'll see right through me
