Sitting in this train
Somebody I explain
How I got in this mess?
Things don't look the same
Who are we to blame
For these little changes, oh
Goin' through phases, no
The sun came up too soon
Girl I had a few
Moments to see the rise
Childhood innocence
Standing on the fence
I swear I've had my million tries
Don't you know
Love don't come easy
I don't wanna rewrite
The stories that we have
I just wanna see it
Like I'm seein' it for the first time
I just wanna love you
The way I imagine you loving me
I just wanna be there
To look into your starry, starry eyes
But I cannot do those things
All because of this twisted summer
Walkin' by the Charles
Ran a couple miles
To remind myself of
The things I used to do
How did we come to this?
I really need to know
I see trees of green
And the sunbeams reflecting off the river water
And on this day
With these clear blue skies
I can't help but think of you.
I just wanna see it
Like I'm seein' it for the first time
I just wanna love you
The way I imagine you loving me
I just wanna be there
To look into your starry, starry eyes
But I cannot do those things
All because of this twisted summer (Twisted summer)
Good things don't come easy
I'm grateful for the things I have with me
I'm back, I'm safe, can't risk a fight
The warm embrace, it's a familiar sight
I feel hints of home reigning on me
But why's it feel so hurtfully the same?
I know I can't decide my fate
I'll just live with what I've got
I know someday I'll take my shot
I see you standing there, looking right at me
In the summer breeze, I'm frozen at that unmistakable smile
Quick! Let's do this now before everything falls apart
Just take my hand, as we're off to explore the world
I just wanna see it
Like I'm seein' it for the first time
I just wanna love you
The way I imagine you loving me
I just wanna be there
To look into your starry, starry eyes
But don't you know? I cannot do those things
All because of this twisted summer
