Hang dog you sitting and counting nameless stars
And when you look down youre beginning to fall away

You dried up like an august creekbed
I mounted in an album
With some photos of your summer friends
I cant tell what the note on the back said
Youre moving like a poem
And it hurts to see you going

I recall the smell of summer on your skin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldnt stop
Its hard to put to words what I was thinking then
I dont know, we were alive or something

Browned off sitting amidst the endless cars
And when you stall out
Theyre beginning to pull away

You dried up like an august creekbed
I mounted in an album
With some photos of your summer friends
I cant tell what the note on the back said
Youre moving like a poem
And it hurts to see you going

I remember licking ice cream off your chin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldnt stop
Its hard to put to words what I was thinking then
I dont know, we were in love or something

I recall the smell of summer on your skin
We were seventeen
And everything was pounding and it wouldnt stop
Its hard to put to words what I was thinking then
I dont know, we were alive or something
