Summer Jobs
Asphalt
Swisher lips
I was 15 and sun-kissed
We laid out on the lawn
And let dawn do us in
Dewdrops
And summer jobs
Must’ve loved you but I forgot
Let our older friends come pick us up
(Oh, we worried my mother sick.)
Six kids in an old shed
Talking sex, drugs, and next weekend
I tried so hard to be cool like them
Hit too hard, nearly choked to death
Nearly choked to death
But I guess that’s just teenage pain
Down for the count or backwards from 10
But a second winds only a second wind
While you’re still standing
Don’t forget me yet
Don’t forget me yet
Don’t forget me yet
Don’t forget me yet
Voicemail:
There were alot of days where my friend Eli would either stay at my house or he would meet up with me before school, and we would skate from my house to school
It was a very small town -- you saw the same people everyday
We chrysalis, or shed our skin
Like that cicada shell on the seat of your two-speed
The days drip off through the salt in my sweat
I tried to keep up with all your references
Most of the time, I’d just smile and nod my head
I never cut my teeth with those kids
But you did
