Eric Bachmann
Sleep All Summer
[Verse 1: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
(Close your weary eyes)
And every time we turn away
(Until the wintertime)
It hits me like a tidal wave
I would change for you
But, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you
So one day you can find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange ways we use each other
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
[Post-Chorus: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
Combing over Broken Cross I held on you
Haunted by the ghost of something new
[Verse 2: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart
To keep the world from caving in
Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
(Close your weary eyes)
And every time we turn away
(Until the wintertime)
It hits me like a tidal wave
I would change for you
But, babe, that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you
So one day you can find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange ways we love to suffer
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
So why won't you fall back in love with me?
[Outro: Matt Berninger & Annie Clark]
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
