July

from out of the pinstripes into the white lights

i was the one true friend

and you were my saviour perfect behavior

money i'd never spend

winter's delivering summer's forgiving

storms in our washed out hearts

guessed every second corrected and reckoned

on the words: 'not to part'

C: when i got better i wrote you a letter but i didn't send it anywhere

it floats on a dashboard looks on a churchyard's children's promises to share

the words aren't free so don't you believe them, something had to be declared

and i have to face july with two holes in my heart

and i have to face this life with two hearts

i could deceive you, or i could receive you

warmly in my estate

smile so politely, correspond nightly,

talk about what we ate

then in the winter, everything splinters,

we will forget our names,

sleep in our ashes, hide from the lightening

flashes and the cold rain

C: when i got better i wrote you a letter but i didn't send it anywhere

it floats on a dashboard looks on a churchyard's children's promises to share

the words aren't free so don't you believe them, something had to be declared

and i have to face july with two holes in my heart

and i have to face this life with two hearts
