Track 15 from FEEL MY AGE

LYRICS

VERSE
The first time
We walked along the pond
You marveled at my heart
At my red-blonde
We talked
About poems I wrote
About you in my notes
After sprinklers, we were soaked

PRE CHORUS
And I never knew
Summer could be so dark
Only light to be seen
The wisdom you impart
When I was at my lowest
More than once more than twice
No matter what I said
You still gave me advice

CHORUS
“you’ll have to know
How to stand up for yourself
‘cause one day you won’t
Have anyone else”
My heart was the drum
And you were the drummer
You kept changin’ the tune
After each summer

VERSE
The first time
You had a break up after me
I spammed your phone with memes
You felt like a machine
We talked
About both our futures
You and the troopers
Me and the producers

PRE CHORUS
And I never knew
Summer could be so dark
Only light to be seen
The wisdom you impart
When I was at my lowest
More than once more than twice
No matter what I said
You still gave me advice

CHORUS
“you’ll have to know
How to stand up for yourself
‘cause one day you won’t
Have anyone else”
My heart was the drum
And you were the drummer
You kept changin’ the tune
After each summer

BRIDGE
The first time
We spoke since starting school
Sat near the pool
Neither of us cruel
We talked
Bout how we were doin
About your cruise tourin
You left, I wasn’t bluein

PRE CHORUS
And I never knew
Summer could be so dark
Only light to be seen
The wisdom you impart
When I was at my lowest
More than once more than twice
No matter what I said
You still gave me advice

CHORUS
“you’ll have to know
How to stand up for yourself
‘cause one day you won’t
Have anyone else”
My heart was the drum
And you were the drummer
You kept changin’ the tune
After each summer

ENDING
My heart was the drum
And you were the drummer
You kept changing the tune
After each summer
