Long side

It’s the furthest of things from your mind, a means to live that you can’t justify.
And you yourself told me- take care of yourself, like a bird- clipped a wing.

Pictured here with a man in a sailors cap, storybook failed.
Just who was I to compromise, crashing your place- ticker tapes float away.

Know it’s the long side of summer.  It used to be better than this.
The long side of summer and no one knows where you’ve been.

Find yourself in a flat near a waterway, it’s a room with a view.
Now the rest is all history so that’s what they say, take a walk-clear your head.

The long side of summer, need to get out of this place.
The long side of summer and no one knows where you’ve been.

Felt damaged beyond all repair, the lucky ones they’re never shamed.
Wake up to all of your friends here today.

It used to be better than this.
The long side of summer and no one knows where you’ve been.
The long side of summer, need to get out of this place.
The long side of summer and no one knows where you’ve been.
