lyrics

I’m a fool for the summer heat
it fils up my head, trips up my feet
meet the boys down on crazy street
lets shake the walls with the bass and the beat
i might drink too much, make an ass of myself
see the colors go stark, the world start to melt
then the wine runs out, the songs slow down
i know how alone i am in this crowd
my smile feels too tight to fit on my face
the weight on my heart makes it beg for escape
i play the last song for you
i cast it into the night
to wherever you are
with whomever you lie
maybe it comes to you
like a prayer on the wind
don’t forget you are loved and you always have been
its just another saturday
meet me at the bar when the band starts to play
theres a fire in my gut today
give me an hour, ill drink it away
tonight ill wear red and kick up my heels
and try not to show how lonely it feels
when the wine runs out, the songs slow down
i know how alone i am in this crowd
my feels too tight to fit on my face
the weight on my heart makes it beg for escape
i play the last song for you
i cast it into the night
to wherever you are
with whomever you lie
maybe it comes to you
like a prayer on the wind
don’t forget you are loved and you always have been
i play the last song for you
cast it into the night
to wherever you are
with whomever you lie
maybe it comes to you
like a prayer on the wind
don’t forget you are loved and you always have been
i play the last song for you
