The Summer of Boats
[Verse 1]
And you're allowed to change
You have permission to try
You're moving off to Salt Lake
And no one will ask why
Moving off in June
Not a day too soon
It all seems so perfectly strange
Break it all in two
And you'll be off into
It's all just so perfectly strange
[Verse 2]
And I'm allowed to break
When my shit's wrapped to tight
And though it all seems strange
This compulsion to die
Shoving off from shore
Can't take any more
It all seems so perfectly lame
Lifting up on four
Breaking down the doors
It's all just so perfectly lame
[Chorus]
Life was perfectly sad
It's perfectly sadder now
Life was perfectly sad
It's perfectly sadder now
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
And I'm allowed to break
A simple catch in the throat
Was it all that great
Back in the summer of boats?
[Bridge]
You're allowed to change
You don't need permission to try
You're moving off to Salt Lake
And no one will ask why
Break it all in two
It's what you have to do
It all seems so perfectly plain
I'll make a charm for you
And you can burn that too
It's all just so perfectly perfectly...
[Chorus]
