Jersey Summers

[Verse 1] Fiona grew up with the crew Same synagogue in Teaneck Rachel had the big backyard And the best toys on the block Lucas and Fiona, summer flames Reset every year in June Til London called her back again And the sun fell out too soon [Pre-Chorus] Some moved off, some moved on Marriage pulled a few away But Sarah kept the circle tight And made Eliah part of play [Chorus] Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers They come back, they come back (Jersey Summers) Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers Same old gang, same old laugh [Verse 2] Bell at three, one minute past Fifteen-oh-one on her wrist She says, "That's fine," and walks right in Jacob's already on the list Rachel shows the Falls in photos Sarah laughs about the teeth That first small hole in her daughter’s smile Wordplay rolling, easy grief [Pre-Chorus] BBQ smoke in the yard Beers go cold, stories run long By the time the sky turns gold She’s back where she belongs [Chorus] Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers They come back, they come back (Jersey Summers) Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers Same old gang, same old laugh [Bridge] Morning light on Lucas’s floor She beats him up again He makes breakfast, hardly speaks She’s buried in the screen At eight he says he’s going She says, "I’m leaving too" Fifteen minutes, side by side Like they always used to do [Final Chorus] Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers They come back, they come back (Jersey Summers) Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers Home is where they all fall back Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers One more night, one more laugh (Jersey Summers) Jersey Summers, Jersey Summers Nothing leaves what brings them back
