[Intro] (Ambient pads, deep rolling 808s, faint electric guitar in the background) Yeah... yeah... Mmm... [Verse 1] This the best summer, eve of September Mornings all foggy, the air damp and gray You wake up buried under blankets, remember August keeps seeping through the velvet drapes Somewhere out on the streets, they rush to the train Tomorrow β a bus back to your nowhere town And somebody's voice keeps chirping, "Leave it alone" Pushing the sadness pills further out of reach (Further out of reach...) [Pre-Hook] Old wounds healed over, scarred into bark No new cuts coming this summer around Watch a white airplane up in the sky Tracing familiar shapes over the rooftop lines (Over the rooftop... yeah) [Hook] No more hiding, no more running away No more locking yourself in an empty little room Where only mice and stale liquor stay In your torn-up soul, the morgue doors slammed (Doors slammed... yeah) [Verse 2] Toss out that expired Vicodin, let it go Hide the Ritalin under peeling wallpaper And keep forever inside your chest The best summer that ever happened to you (Ever happened to you... yeah) [Bridge] (Atmospheric synths, sparse drums, reverb heavy) Best summer... yeah... Keep it in your chest... mmm... No more running... [Hook] No more hiding, no more running away No more locking yourself in an empty little room Where only mice and stale liquor stay In your torn-up soul, the morgue doors slammed (Doors slammed... yeah) [Outro] (Ambient pads fading, deep 808s, electric guitar licks) Best summer... mmm... Keep it forever... yeah... The best summer... (Fade out)
