One Summer Last Fall

One Summer Last Fall
Kid I held you with these arms that felt so hard
You kept your chin up and I held my guard
Made a prison bed from a life I never led
Let me correct these mistakes you delight in

God I hope I get it right I've been practicing tonight
Kid I hope it holds soime fraction of its feeling
If you keep believing then ill keep on being
A ghost in his prison bed short sheeted and shook dead
Looking at love he still hasn't made yet
That I couldnt make to you baby, I can barely move
Kid you were wrong that wasn't me in that song
You write the lie you'd like to be
When your life feels like a book you wouldn't read
Kid I've lived through others I made myself so mall
I lived through a record one summer last fall
The singer said something I could only feel
I saw him this morning he still looked real real
God I need him here tonight
I just know he'd get this right
Kid I'm a mess
If it looked good you're seeing things I guess
I changed my mind so many times I'm a strobe light

Flickering freak. The baby of the week
I'm starting to see someone I could never be
Kid what went wrong? We had it all now its all gone
I blew my mind out now its your turn to find out
What we all need
What we all mean
I'm starting to see someone I don't want to be
