Swollen Summer

Downtown in the shade
Staring at the sunshine in my face
Telling me to come and hide, come and play
I'm telling you the sun never goes away
And all i do is talk, talk, talk all day
I'm talking my life away
I'm staring at the sun again
And everything's fading
[chorus:]
It's like a swollen summer
What if I'm getting dumber?
What if I'm in denial?
What if they come and cop my style?
Downtown in the clear
All I know is nothing ever changes here
And I know there's no excuse and no defense
But my summertime never ends.
It's like a swollen summer
What if I'm getting dumber?
What if I'm in denial?
What if they come and cop my style?
It's like a swollen summer
What if I'm getting dumber?
What if I'm in denial?
What if they come and cop my style?
Swollen summer
Swollen summer
Swollen summer
Swollen summer
