I hate the sound it makes
When your vocal chords vibrate
And I love the distance
As far away as I can run
And now I never lie awake

Heavy weighs the summer
On a heart like mine
Can't leave well enough alone
For all of my life

I'd only miss the winter
'cause the agony
Brings out the best in me
I never want out

As I write it I almost believe it
Life doesn't always let us enjoy it

Heavy weighs the summer
On a heart like mine
Can't leave well enough alone
For all of my life
