[Intro]
(Look at the stars)
Lay back down darling, I'm sure it's just the wind
(It's just the wind)
Eric, look at me-me-me-me
It's touch, bittersweet nostalgia once you've built up thick skin

[Verse]
I know times might be changing, but I'm evermore your friend (Your friend, I'm evermore)
So, love, slacken down your muscles, and you can put down that pen (That pen)
I'm told, all of what's outside is sure to turn ugly in due time
(Due time)
But I would go it all if meant your heart would be ugly like mine (Like mine)
This weight you've carried bruised your shoulder blades, and it's buckled both your legs (Your legs, uhh)
Let me hold both those straps up from your back, so you can stand straight (Stand straight)
Now lay yourself down darling, rest well, I know that you're spent (You're spent)
It's been one hell of a long time coming, but I'm right here, now, in this tent (In this tent, uhh)

[Outro]
The campfire's warmer tonight (Campfire's warmer tonight)
The fireflies swarm in this light (Fireflies swarm in this light)
We're back where we started again (Where we started again)
On the lake as the summer begins (Summer begins)
