Summer Is Over

Jon McLaughlin · Promising Promises [2012]

Autumn never seemed this cold before

Here I am sleeping on the floor

We changed just like the leaves outside my house

And my phone lay silent by the couch



I remember June

Back when I met you

And your eyes were green

And we were, too



But summer is over

We were tangled in the morning sun

Felt you getting colder

And we knew that we would come undone

And it's back to my town, back to your life

Gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers

'Cause summer is over



I can still see your silhouette in the white hot sand

I still feel your ring on my hand

And the clock was always ticking down behind that glass

Singing "love, be good while you last"



We both knew

What we were getting into

And the things we said (sounded true)

Sounded true



But summer is over

We were tangled in the morning sun

Felt you getting colder

And we knew that we would come undone

And it's back to my town, back to your life

Gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers

'Cause summer is over



The distant innocence

We are leaving far behind

Your last words will be burning in my mind

In the winter time



Well summer is over

We were tangled in the morning sun

Felt you getting colder

I knew that we would come undone

And it's back to my town, back to your life

Gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye, goodbye



Summer is over

We were tangled in the morning sun

Felt you getting colder

And we knew that we would come undone

And it's back to my town, back to your life

Gray skies are blowing a kiss goodbye to the lovers

'Cause summer is over
