Well tangled in ropes, pulled into the shore
You washed up all heavy, tired, and poor
Had a life made of wax
In a house made of butter
How they melted that summer
How they melted that summer

When the tide pulled out and all was exposed
You found yourself drowning in truths untold
Used a sand dollar too, hard thoughts taking hold
Though a hundred degrees, you felt so cold

And mixing our drinks with holy water
Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow
Had a life made of wax, house made of butter
How they melted that summer
How they melted that summer

When winter came early and the ocean froze over
You threw your belongings onto your shoulder
Stole a pair of boots that could handle the cold
And walked out into the frozen unknown

And mixing our drinks with holy water
Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow
Had a life made of wax, house made of butter
How they melted that summer
How they melted that summer
Well tangled in ropes, pulled into the shore
You washed up all heavy, tired, and poor
Had a life made of wax
In a house made of butter
How they melted that summer
How they melted that summer

When the tide pulled out and all was exposed
You found yourself drowning in truths untold
Used a sand dollar too, hard thoughts taking hold
Though a hundred degrees, you felt so cold

And mixing our drinks with holy water
Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow
Had a life made of wax, house made of butter
How they melted that summer
How they melted that summer

When winter came early and the ocean froze over
You threw your belongings onto your shoulder
Stole a pair of boots that could handle the cold
And walked out into the frozen unknown

And mixing our drinks with holy water
Won't cover up sins that are bound to follow
Had a life made of wax, house made of butter
How they melted that summer
How they melted that summer
Well tangled in ropes, pulled into the shore
You washed up all heavy, tired, and poor
Had a life made of wax
In a house made of butter
How they melted that summer
How they melted that summer
